Sends, Solos and Scrambles in North Wales // Sgùrr

A climbing and scrambling trip on a beautiful weekend in North Wales. We explored some slate classics at Dinorwig, including Fool’s Gold, Seams the Same and Equinox, then headed over to Ogwen valley the next day for a huge day out on Amphitheatre Buttress. We were joined by our good friend Richard (a die hard boulderer turned sport climber) and only had one mishap involving our first major drone crash!

Congrats!!! I’m only just watching this now but it’s still awesome 😅

[@junglegusset]

Lovely to see people enjoying these routes, been too long since Ive been up there. Thanks.

I never realized that the UK has such beautiful scenery and that you don't need to be a superstar to do trad climbing. As a Dutch sportclimber it is really cool to see potential travel options in the UK, I'm already fantasizing to come over one day, enjoying the view and start learning to trad climb.
Thanks for the ideas :)

That's awesome to hear! The UK has such a variety of rock types all over the place, it's brilliant if you want to trad climb. We especially love the sea cliffs on the south coast like Pembroke and Portland :)

I snapped a fairly big piece off a hold once. I kept the piece of the hold that snapped off as a reminder to myself that I should never take climbing for granted, and I think about it whenever I consider free soloing anything at any grade.

[@SgurrClimbing]

I have had a very similar experience to yours. I think it's a case of always being aware of the possibility that the holds might snap, and climbing with that in your mind.
It's not shown in the video, but I gave the more suspect holds a tap with my palm to check if they were loose before committing to them. I do this on exposed scrambles as well, and I have pulled off several loose rocks before!

You guys are all fantastic! Take care

Excellent video.
Approve of your coffee choice.
Liking the country blues at the start.
Got sweaty palms watching the free solos.
Great drone shots.
Smashed it again. Well done.

I know you are bad at tying knots rich but that’s no excuse not to tie one… 😉 I’m gonna have to come next time if you can’t be trusted... Fab video Rob and Lucy, can I come play on some slate next time please? ❤

[@SgurrClimbing]

Absolutely!! Slate is amazing

[@GreenAlien2023]

Your bloke really should be getting on harder trad routes than E1 given he's projecting 7b

[@nostn14]

I was bricking it at 12:16 because I didn't see the rope at first
