After weeks of unbroken sunshine, Cloggy will be dry and warm, so this is an ideal opportunity for a weekend's climbing at this mightiest of Welsh cliffs. [Who am I trying to kid?]

The idea is to walk up on Friday night and set up ABC next to the lake. There are a number of pitches available but get there early to get the best ones.

Saturday will dawn bright and clear so after a hearty fry-up it's off to the Black Cliff to test your resolve. There are too many three star classics to list but choose from: Great Slab (VS), The Corner (HVS), White Slab (E1), any number of extremes, the list goes on and... and... because you've camped there you'll be first on the route and won't have to wait behind tons of woolly britches and beards. Perfect.

Climb until dusk then only 5 minutes back to the tent for the evening meal. I suggest bringing your own booze (well you're not having any of mine!) but those who are desperate (and you'd have to be), can run down to Llanberis for last orders.

Sunday: repeat Saturday schedule for a great weekend.

P.S. Just in case (and there is a faint chance) the weather isn't perfect then the hut is free so we can pretend-camp there instead.
