North Wales meet....
May 19, 2007, 10:39:40 am
I've been thinking of sorting out a North Wales Bouldering meet.  I guess this is probably the time of year for this (midges and weather wise).  1st weekend of June maybe good.  Anyone keen - if so, I'll get some camping/hut info and set adate.  Bouldering and booze?  Sounds good to me. :beer2:

Yeah, nice idea. I'd be up for that. I'm back in Wales next weekend too for the bank holiday if you're around and I'd be keen to get out one day then.

I'm currently in California for a few days and just about to head out to Castle Rock for a session, which should be good.

Thanks FD. The luck was certainly with me at Castle Rock - got the Yabo Roof third try. Let's hope it carries over to Monday morning! I'll drop you a line when I get back...

That'd be nice, but unfortunately not - the one in the picture is in Yosemite I believe and comes in at V11(?). I was at Castle Rock near Santa Cruz where 'Yabo Roof' gets V5. I'm pretty sure the one at CR was done by John Yablonski - no idea about the one in Yosemite, mind you.

Yeah it is, cool problem, and more like V12. I was just wondering what it went in the guide at. I had a play on it this spring..... really cool moves

Yes, I'm sure your all normal really.  1st through to the 3rd June.  I'm off that weekend, so I'll be able to offer tours and all that chaff.  I guess the camp site opposite the Vaynol in Nant Peris is a good option for crashing, as its right by the Pass/Pub.  Hopefully the weather will be good, if not, get your biceps out for the cave (hopefully, it won't come to this, there are other prize venues in the hood).  PM me for me phone number and give us a call for hoking up arrang,ments.  Winner.

Hey up Chris.
Hiope you're well? Long time no see.

I'll be down that in Wales that weekend so I'll come along too. I'll even bring my camera and shock horror, some climbing clobber. Be nice to tick off some easy classics and get a few shots to boot.

 ;D

Hey Dave - good to hear from you. Easy classics aplenty, and I am very optimistic about the weather, as always.  Look forward to seeing you all there.

Cromlech Roof Crack? It'd be cracking if I cracked that cracker.

We've got a prior appointment with a small uninhabited island in the Hebrides that weekend so can't make it down from Cumbria. So many places to go, so little time...
Next time, Chris. Have fun.

I'll make sure we save some razor edges for then!  Are you still searching for the elusive Mr O'Connor then?

Nah, a far simpler quest. Me and Estragon are hoping to find Godot, Atlantis, the Lost Treasure of the Sierra Madre, the Dodo and the Grail out there.
