Planned to head to Wavelength on Monday, but was put off by the bank holiday hoards. Didn't fancy the walk in from the far side of Llanberis (full car parks), and/or trying to fit pads onto the rammed Sherpa buses. Seems lesson of the weekend was to stay clear of the pass when its that busy!! Still, had fun messing around on the RAC boulders instead.

Does anyone know how fast Foil dries after rain?  Any seepage?  If it's dry Sunday I might pop across to meet some mates but don't want to waste a trip if rain from the day before is going to mean it's still wet.
Cheers

http://www.northwalesbouldering.com/newsitem.asp?nsid=54
well worth a trip up, a very good boulder nearby too,
http://www.northwalesbouldering.com/newsitem.asp?nsid=183
rock is very similair to that of the Roaches Skyline  ;D
Pack your wellies though, not because of clunge but the walk in is abit of a bog.

Gritlad, just a headsup as I don't know if you've been before?

I don't know what the weather has been doing in the Crafnant valley the last few days but be prepared for a slippy time if there has been rain in the boulder field. A friend and I had to wade through the marshy/rocky terrain last time after rain. At the risk of sounding like your mother, perhaps take some stout walking shoes (Penguin bar, apple sandwiches etc etc).

Craftnant needs a few dry days but sounds like we've had it. You need wellies for the Welsh hills. I always keep them in the boot and then think 'it will be alright'. Always regret it...

Crafnant was good today, thanks for the advice. walk in fairly dry, fine in approach shoes and boulders were all dry if a little dirty on a few. Weather looks amazing for tomorrow!
Whats the thoughts on the grade of Cruella, 7B?
