Today I was back in Snowdonia and out with Ben who was keen for some mileage. The aim of our two days out was to do plenty of multi pitch climbing and scrambling and looking at the transition between the two, useful for Ben's future alpine trip. We headed on to Idwal Slabs and started off on Ordinary Route (D) where I started off leading then Ben taking over for a bit, looking at belays, rope management and ways of using systems more efficiently. We then carried on up onto Lazarus (S) and then onto Continuation Crack (HVS 5a) which was brilliant little route. After all of this we headed back down to the base, climbed up two pitches and looked at multi-pitch abseil descents, how it can be done safely and efficiently. Finally to finish I guided Ben up Hope (VD) and we decended off the left via the scrambling decent and back to the car for 5. This evening I met up with John, Caff and Calum for a wee boulder at the Gravestones then onto the Cromlech boulders.
