 Laetitia with Ynys Ettws in the valley… |
The joint CC, FRCC bank holiday meet at Ynys Ettws was a great social event. But sadly only two FRCC members (who are also CC members) turned up. A good job the CC made a better contribution  …
We enjoyed Saturday at Carreg Wastad, just opposite the hut, allowing a rapid descent to ply those on the meet with cake and tea to welcome them along. Laetitia and I kicked off with Old Holborn. This route used to be a HVS but must have been a total ’stopper’ at that grade - the moves under the roof to gain the hidden ledge were very hard! When Paul & Clive came up after us Paul’s legendary hydraulic finger strength took a few attempts to achieve success! Luckily the new grade of E1 makes far more sense - and I see that UKC has it at “hard E1″ - sounds about right to me…  Paul completes the challenging overhang on Old Holborn Later, after a quick ascent of the (now BBC famed) Crackstone Rib, we rushed back down to Ynys to dish out those cakes… |
