A classic weekend, with amazing weather throughout. There were a few lucky ones that managed to get away early and climb on the Friday. John Holden, Dennis English and Helen Costello along with Martin Smith and his friend Stuart headed up to Dinas Cromlech. Both teams climbed Spiral Stairs and Flying Buttress. John was delighted to find he had mistakenly climbed part of an E1. Martin and Stuart also climbed Sabre Cut while the others had lunch. Dave Ferguson and Ian Armstrong also got a couple of routes in, calling off at Lower Pen Trwyn to tick off two bolted routes. Skin Game and Golden Pond.

The early sunrise and blue skies Saturday morning sparked everyone off to an early start, the hut empty before 8am. Dave and Ian set off early up to Cloggy, climbing Great Slab, Easy Rider and Curving Crack. The most popular crag of the day was Dinas Mot where Phil Wilkinson and Sue Greenwood climbed Western Rib. Dave Armstrong who hadn't lead a climb for ten years teamed up with Harmony Smith to do the classic Diagonal, Direct Route and Loraine. Simon Hall climbed with Tim Millen and ticking off Loraine, Super Direct and the first pitch of Nexus (between by the second pitch). Martin Smith and Dennis English were the last two to head up to Dinas Mot, after climbing The Cracks and Western Slab they headed over to Grochan to bag the classic VS Nea. John Holden and Helen Costello headed up into Cyrn Las for the uber classic Main Wall. They managed to climb in the sun all day with Helen thoroughly enjoying the magnificent slab on pitch 5. Phil Blanchard and possible new member Johnny Wilson climbed a combination of Mur Y Niwl and Pinnacle Wall on Craig Yr Ysfa, both superb mountain routes.

Sunday was another stunning morning with almost everyone raring to go, even after the drinking the night before. Inspired by Dave and Ian's enthusiasm Sue and Phil set off for Cloggy. They thought about giving Mid Summer's Nights Dream E6 6a a shot (Dave Armstrong's 1977/78 brain child) but decided to mince up the amazing rock on Great Slab. Phil and Johnny drove round to Tryfan to do another good mountain VS Belleview Bastion. Dave and Ian wandered up to Idwal Slabs climbing Hope, Javelin Buttress and Groove Above. Helen, Dennis, John and Martin had a more leisurely rise and headed for another classic rock tick Creag Dhu Wall at Tremadog.

Tim and Simon were desperate to have a go on the slate so they headed for Bus Stop Quarry with Dave and Harmony. Both teams climbed a couple of bolted routes, Equinox, Solstice, Fools Gold and half on Nat Attack before bailing because the footholds were like glass.
