On the first day we pulled up here, at Castle Inn Quarry. It was very cold and I had a lot of layers on - see here for a full post on what I wore on my first outdoor climb. My golden coat definitely kept my spirits high.
After a hard day of numb hands and shaky legs, we had a pub stop before heading back to the Girl guides Bunkhouse we were staying in.
Our second day in Penmaen Head had some gorgeous sea views, but for me, was mildly unsuccessful.
Here I am putting my shoes on like I am about to do a real good climb.
Aaaaaand that is almost as far as I got there. The ground was a bit muddy and it made my shoes a bit slippy, and the thing is I didn't manage to finish either of the top ropes I started BUT I GAVE IT A GOOD GO.
I still count my first weekend of outdoor climbs a success because I was on a real rock, putting on foot above the other doing real climbing. And I can only get better right? Right.
