On Saturday morning we travelled to Parisella's Cave and Rock Atrocity finally got crushed in 3 attempts. A celebratory meal of coffee and doughnuts on the pier shortly followed. It was truly immense! After that, we spent a chilled afternoon in Split Infinity and went to watch the Holland v Russia match in the Heights in Llanberis, it was full of blurts and scallies but at least the football was good!
Due to the horrific weather storms, we managed to sort out a bunkhouse in Nant Peris for £10 a night so we at least got a decent nights sleep and dreamt of dry weather in the mountains. When we awoke it was looking heavy again in the pass, with low grey cloud and very strong winds, so we sacked it again to the Orme and it was a beautiful thing, bathed in light with a nice breeze.
Split infinity got another visitation with Ben trying Organ Grinder and me and Si working Bell Pig (oh how frustrating catching the sidepull is..) before we ventured up to Norman's Wisdom to try out the problems up there. Ardvaark and Norman Direct were really good at 7A and 7A/+ but Snout (7B+/C) proved a bit trickier and I'll need to go back after not climbing 5 days on, to see if it feels any more amenable.
