First Day Out! Last weekend I had my first Saturd $First Day Out! Last weekend I had my first Saturday off (during the work season) in years, my first trad climb of the year, and Rachel’s first route since fracturing a couple off vertebrae in her back 2 weeks ago. It also felt like the first day of sun for 2024 🤣 . We settled on the lesser frequented Clogwyn y Bustach which is right next to the uber popular Clogwyn Yr Oen in the Moelwyns above Tan Y Grisiau. I’ve been here once before, around 10 years ago, to do the crag classic “Flake Wall” a nice HVS. . It turns out this crag is absolute awesome for wall climbs around the e2-ish level! It’s like a mini (but still 25-30m) version of the Cromlech. It’s slightly slabbier, but features very similar climbing with lots of nice rails, crimps and crozzly pockets. . First up was the crag classic “Titus” which I thought was good value at e2. Initially Rach said she was going to second everything but obviously when we got there that changes (I think she sneakily was always planning on it if she was feeling well enough!). There’s a burly crux on this thing but with a big rack there a lot of kit. This is a top quality climb as good as anything else in north wales and 3 stars for sure. The rock is just superb! . Next was the bold sounding a bold looking Acoustic Flake - e3 5b. I generally don’t like bold stuff. The nice rock lured me in on this one. Initially I remembered, I don’t like this stuff, and then I decided the movement was pretty nice so in this rare instance the risk warranted it, and said to Rachel she might like it. It’s basically unprotected 5a (or easy 5b) climbing to around 15m where there’s some gear (just beyond acoustic flake 🤢) and some more nice creeping above. Overall not too bad for e3 5b but you can’t get these things wrong… . Continued below 👇$

Great day making the most of the sun yesterday wit
