CLIMBERS

Recent Welsh Stuff

Peter Cooper  October 2005

No need for a futher account of Pete and Antony's adventure, so I'll provide the lazyman's account for the Welsh weekend. Pete's Eats, Pete's Eats and the Curry House in Llanberis; preceeded and followed by beer. A leisurely trip down following my friend Bob's birthday in Leeds, the previous evening, too late to join in on any great adventures in the Ogwen Valley, or so we thought. After a pint of tea in Pete's eats I found myself owning 2 brand new Beal climbing ropes, for a very good price, from V12 (sometimes working has it's advantages). The ropes were duly Christened on a minor slate classic 'German Schoolgirl',getting drizzled on by rain 1/2 way up added to the atmoshere; these were not classic conditions for on-sighting a slate E2 5c. Still it left an imprint on my memory (and underpants!). Sunday's weather was suppossed to be poor but Bob and myself managed to follow Marty and his girls up Flying Buttress on Dinas Cromlech. A lovely route. Then it was back to Leeds, following a quick tea in Pete's Eats.

Disclaimer: Climbing is a dangerous activity. Potentially lethal. People can, and do, get killed (usually as a result of a fall). Colmcille Climbing Club (heretoafter referred to as "The Club") and Pete Smith cannot take responsibility if you decide to go climbing and subsequently fall as a result of reading this website. In fact, the last thing we want you to do is fall. That's not to say that we want you to fall, or that we want it to be the last thing that happens to you; what we mean is that we don't want you to fall at all. We don't even want you to go climbing unless you want to: it's your choice. We like going climbing and we think you'll enjoy it too, but if you do go, don't come running to us whingeing if you happen to get hurt. If we said to put your hand in a fire, you wouldn't do it, would you? And if we recommended putting your hand in a fire (which we don't) we would suggest that you wear fireproof gloves and stuff, and that you have a bucket of water nearby. So if you decided to go climbing, we would suggest using ropes and stuff, and having a first aid kit on hand because accidents can and do happen and they're not always fatal. The Club does not have any more accidents than any other organisation that indulges in potentially lethal activities, so it's not down to us. It's not our fault. Gottit?
