A Very Wet and Very Windy Saturday -Summer ML Ropework

A group from Nottingham University Mountaineering Society spent a very wet morning at Clogwyn y Tarw ( the Gribin Facet) practising  Summer Mountain Leader rope work. 

We managed to look at a variety of skills, but spent most of the morning examining direct and indirect belays and even managed a bit of confidence roping in the early afternoon. All these skills are a key part of being a Summer Mountain Leader and for working on North Wales major peaks.


We all managed to survive the weather in the morning ( it was far worse than the pictures portray it!) Being a hardy mountaineer is key to working in North Wales.

The sun is just starting to break through!

What would rope work be without knots!
