The last 2 day have been spent with Colm and Dave in North Wales, refreshing old and introducing new skills. Due to them both having some injuries, the grade of the routes was not important, but time spent on rock was.

Thursday was spent on Little Tryfan, where they lead a good number a pitches, did multi pitch abseils and looked at stance management. It was a day well spent, with the guys saying it was the perfect day, which was much needed.

Yesterday we made the decision to head over to Anglesey to avoid the rain. I turned out to be a great decision, as we drove through rain to dry roads and sunshine. We went on to Holyhead Mountain to continue the theme from the previous day, and add a couple of simple problem solving techniques in there. We rounded off the day with a quick ascent of Rap VS 4c*** on Castle Helen. Sadly, Colm was a bit too sore for this. Hopefully they get the weather to put all they've learnt into practise over the next couple of day before heading home to Ireland.
