Cwm Idwal Ice

Today I took my Dad and Norman up to play on the ice at the back of Cwm Idwal. There are a variety of routes providing good ice from II to VII with a short walk-in. Unfortunatly everyone else loves the ice too, and even mid-week it was packed.

We did some skills, sliding and talking about snow on the way in before duckin and diving to find a variety of ice pitches to play on. This included taking some harder lines up in Devils Kitchen itself, exploring the dark recesses of the cleft.

A beautiful day with no wind and pleasant winter temperatures.
