The Climbers’ Club have just released a new Ogwen guide 100 years after J M Archer Thomson released his original Climbing in the Ogwen Valley guide. With the sun shining and the high crags in good condition after a delightfully dry spring it seems the perfect time to go high and sample a classic mountain route on the magnificent East Face of Tryfan.
Pinnacle Rib Route is one of the finest low grade multi pitch mountain routes in Snowdonia. Take it as a long and pleasant V Diff expedition, or bite off the technical diversions of the infamous Yellow Slab and Thomson’s Chimney to spice things up a bit – the choice is yours.
