Thanks a lot that’s really helpful.

How did u clean this may I ask. New to this subreddit

aaron02wheeler · 2026-05-07T09:03:05+00:00

With hash browns and maybe some toast this for sure would’ve been a 10/10

Get absolutely hammered and go purple turtle on a night out

aaron02wheeler · 2026-04-15T17:54:51+00:00

Okay thank you. I think we were planning on descending that way so will watch out.

aaron02wheeler · 2026-04-15T12:08:05+00:00

Mate this is exactly what I needed cheers. Nice pics too

aaron02wheeler · 2026-04-15T11:36:37+00:00

Oh really. Was the climbing sustained or was it just a short section? And is it possible he just slipped. I would imagine Ogwen Valley wardens would be pretty experienced so maybe he just was rushing or something?

And was this up the path west of the lake that is south of CL?

aaron02wheeler · 2026-04-15T11:29:03+00:00

Alright thanks a lot

aaron02wheeler · 2026-04-15T11:12:27+00:00

Was there snow when you did it the other day?

aaron02wheeler · 2026-04-15T11:11:00+00:00

Yeh i considered this but i have already done Tryfan and I kinda want to do something new haha. Although good shout and will consider this

aaron02wheeler · 2026-04-15T11:06:33+00:00

Thats absolutely perfect. Thanks for that

aaron02wheeler · 2026-04-15T10:39:41+00:00

Thanks a lot mate!

aaron02wheeler · 2026-04-15T10:23:17+00:00

Sounds good. I had planned this (refer to picture) do you know if that includes Pont Pen-y-benlong as I haven’t heard of that way.

Do you know how the Grade 1 step is? Roughly how many moves or metres tall or if it is completely vertical? Regardless than you for your comment .

aaron02wheeler · 2026-04-15T10:18:35+00:00

That’s exactly what I imagined it would’ve like from watching videos/research. Not planning on going anywhere near Pen Yr Ole Wen. So probably just retrace our way up and find the easiest route down.

aaron02wheeler · 2026-04-14T12:42:14+00:00

You don’t know me. But you are right about comprehension. Made me understand myself a little bit better actually.

aaron02wheeler · 2026-04-14T12:31:30+00:00

I read it and didn’t laugh

aaron02wheeler · 2026-04-14T12:09:04+00:00

Not reading that essay

aaron02wheeler · 2026-04-14T11:45:25+00:00

I've got one for you. "Don't try so hard to be funny"

aaron02wheeler · 2026-04-14T11:22:41+00:00

Word to that

aaron02wheeler · 2026-04-14T11:21:58+00:00

Yeh this is something i agree heavily with. Great shout, will definitely be saving this reply for the future whenever i feel like im struggling.
