Snowdonia Rock Climbing (?) Idwal Slabs

The views driving up into Ogwen Valley, Snowdonia, were almost Alpine.

It was much warmer than it looked and we headed up to Idwal Slabs where we practiced placing rock climbing leading gear and retreavable abseil retreats.

Yes, there was snow at the bottom of the route and it snowed whilst we were climbing but Laura was warm and comfortable. She almost seemed dissapointed at the suggestion to "retire" for a warm drink and cake.
