The September 2013 Rapid Rock at Plas Y Brenin has sadly come to an end. Its been a great month and we've been lucky with the weather when compared to last year.

   I've run 3 of these over the last 4 years as well as being involved in a few others. During the month we've generally climbed all over North Wales, had people leading multi-pitch routes from diff to E1 and have made them confident and self sufficient for future climbing plans.

A wet forecast meant a fun day out on the Carreg Hyll Drem Traverse. If anyone has not done it and the weather is turd on a weekend its worth heading to warm up on before going to the Indy or Beacon climbing walls.



  Tina unfortunately twisted an ankle badly just before the final week but this is Tina on the left with Kate and Jake a pitch behind. Luckily Tina could come for the final evening in the Heights pub in Llanberis. I expect to bump into most of them on a cliff sometime and expect some scintillating rope skills.



  Cheers for a great month folks and thanks to Jake, Andy, Reeves, Mike and Paul whose efforts all helped to make it.

What an incredible month climbing!!! A big thanks to yourself, Jake Holland, Mark Reeves, Helen Teasdale and the other instructors for your patience, encouragement and instruction which has helped launch us Cafflings out in the big wide world of 'real climbing'. We have learned so much, climbed so many great routes and had such fun. I have more then achieved what I wanted and can't wait to get back climbing. Many thanks for a brilliant time Caff.

Did the 2012 version of this course with Dave Evans, and it was great. Not sure what you mean about the weather though Caff, we only had 3 wet days in the entire month last year!

Nice 1 Simon
Are you sure you weren't in Spain that month, 2012 was the 3rd wettest year on record in wales. Evans is good at sniffing out dry rock though...
