I was out with my good friend Mike today on the Gribin spur (Snowdon) and Lliwedd. The snow line was from around the 700m level, but it was all pretty grim! Wet snow, sopping turf and warm conditions - NASTY! However we had a great fun time in the mountains as always.
No sign of winter climbing conditions yet/still!
So winter seems very reluctant to show itself here in Wales so far, which is a real shame.
I have been out up Crib Lem, the grade 1 scramble above Cwm Llafar on the 'backside' of Carnedd Daffyd. The snow line starts thinly at approx 700m, but I'm afraid it is of the soft & wet variety on top of sodden turf so winter routes are not an option I'm afraid.
