Cwm Glas Bach

We spent the afternoon at Hidden wall. Tony started off with Rimsky Korsakov, A pumpy E5 6a which is run out with ok gear. Next up  was What a Differences a Day Makes, this is a brilliant  route worth 3 stars in my opinion. It a steep E4 6a  with very good gear if you can hold on long enough to place it. Lucky for me I just about held on all the way to the top. The guide book says you need a large cam at the top but there is a nice spike just above the placement so not really necessary. Then Tony had a go at Melon Transplant, a tough E5 6b. he was not successful and on his last attempt the tat around the second peg snapped but lucky the first peg can into play just before he would of hit the floor, Lucky Man. After that it started spitting so we used the excuses to head back to the car and tea and medals.
