Well, been all over the past few months, running 5 star kayak courses in the Lakes, picked up my
new Surf Kayak from my Sponsor, Surf Kayaking in Morroco, Skiing and ice climbing in the Alps
for a few weeks and lots more, which unfortunately means that i have neglected the Blog.
Some pictures to follow soon.
Anyway, I was out on Yr Esgair today with Ali Othen, ok conditions, turf not that frozen but
holding enough. It was a bit windy at the notch and a few places further up with some spindrift adding to the feel! Definately a winter route! There were a few other solo folks and parties about, but by no means crowded. We bumped into John and Malcolm from Conway Centre who were headed for The Curver, who looked like they were enjoying it, so, after topping out of Yr Esgair ridge we headed down Easy Gully and headed for The Curver. In agreement with Tim Jepson, it is a bit longer than the 170m in the guide. We bumped in to a party of three on the route who were enjoying their "new experience". Some interesting cornice shapes on the scarp slope at the top of the route and some amazing views in every direction! Lots of windslab on the E and SE aspects on the descent back to Ogwen.
Back out tommorrow!
