Hiking in Snowdonia after finishing exams - Wales is awesome.

Tim on a fun, easy route in the Peak District. Awesome climbs, but cold wind and rain don't add to much to the experience.

Jim from Aberystwyth Mountaineering Club climbing at Stanage Edge on a cold, rainy day in November.

The sea-wall at Aberystwyth beach is a fun place to climb when you get bored of the indoor wall. The sand makes for a soft landing but falling is difficult because the amount of good holds are endless. The height is the fun bit - about 15 ft - something I wouldn't normally do.

Neil from Aber Mountaineering club doing a slippery but fun route at Cromlech. After climbing all day, we showed up at Cromlech tired, cold, and in pain but we still managed to have some fun.

Sophie climbing a fairly simple route at Comlech Boulders. Holds are polished but plentiful and positive making it a propitious problem for tired climbers.

Upper Tier is a really fun area; a large flat area at the foot of the crag would be ideal for camping, but check the guide book first as I'm not sure about the legalities.

Tim and Dan make their first impressions of the Upper Tier. Lots of fun routes when dry. Awesome views of the area from the top.

Dan leading a wet, scary (I would imagine) route at the Upper Tier. Tim's on belay duty. If you head up to Tremadog check out Eric's barn for a place to stay. Really cheap and within minutes walk to the crag.

Crowded Idwal Slabs in North Wales (Snowdonia) on what seems to be another typical cold, wet day. The University of Aberystwyth Mountaineering Club is getting out their swim suits and snorkeling fins.

Adam and I hanging out on the third pitch of a climb at Idwal Slabs (close to Betws Y Coed) in Snowdonia. My first multi-pitch, slowly adjusting to the heights. Taking in the breath-taking landscape of Wales.

Awesome day of climbing in the Peak district despite waking up to a cold rainstorm. It's a good thing we decided to tough it out instead of going indoors. Dan's leading a fairly simple route just as the sun makes a grand appearance.
