Sunday’s weather wasn’t quite as sunny as forecast, but that wasn’t gonna get in the way of our planned adventure up to Craig Yr Ysfa to show Dave & Fiona up the awesome mountaineering classic – Amphitheatre Buttress…

We started late, so we weren’t surprised when we saw at least 10 teams already on the route. We teamed up: Laetitia and Fiona, and Pete and Dave, then headed up the route. It was a great day with magnificent views. By the time we topped out, the clouds had gone and we had the place completely to ourselves in the beautiful evening sunshine.
