John's friend offered to take us to his local crag - Craig y Forwyn, to do some rock climbing ... It had been years since I last did any, and I had to borrow gear from the school stores. Bog boots, walking clothes and a waist harness from the stores, with a rope, slings and some protection.
We parked at the end of the road, and walked up through the trees to the end of the cliffs.
First up was Softly Softly, one at a time, John, myself then Jim.
Then after coming back down Staircase gully as a scramble and then we finished on Y Chimneys.
Then back to the car and home ... It does take a long time one after the other on a top rope.
This was just the motivation I needed to spend out on some rock boots .. EBs were the vogue item.
