Parson's nose loop

13 May 2019

Stopped working about 15:15, started running about 16:00.

Ran up the Cwm Glas Mawr, and scrambled up the true left of the falls. Topped out for a glorious view of Parson’s Nose and the Clogwyn y Person arete.

Put my climbing shoes on and scrambled up the arete left of the Parson’s Nose West Gully1, then on to the main arete above.

Topped out, then ran across Crib-y-Ddysgl, then down Gyrn Las and back to the car (and then on to Oxford).

A great afternoon jaunt in the beautiful May sunshine.

  1. Amazing little scramble which I would put at the upper limit of grade 3 scrambling (and would possibly call it climbing rather than scrambling). I’d also strongly recommend climbing shoes, and possibly the use of a rope!
