Alpine prep in the Glyders...

Peter and I were in North Wales today with the intention of doing some alpine preparation.

With good weather forecast, we decided to string a couple of multi pitch routes together to make a slightly longer day out.

Starting on the Ogwen Valley we opted for 'Rowan Route' D on the Milestone Buttress before traversing around to 'First Pinnacle Rib' D, taking us to the summit of Tryfan.

Along the way we found time to look at runners, belays, moving together, taking coils, and a few special little tricks for moving at a steady pace.

Looks like a damp start for tomorrow...
