Tryfan east face from Pen yr Olau Wen
as a very young lad the place where i did my first rock climb in North Wales.A weekend off school parents and homework and the feeling of freedom!
I remember my second ( the second person on the rope) fell on me on one of the upper pitches.Between 15 and 20 I must have done nearly all the climbs on tryfan-after that I started climbing more in the Llanberis pass for all that tryfan is a beautiful mountain.The welsh have this lovely word hiraeth (yearning /longing for a place) I always feel that for tryfan -I never had a bad moment on that mountain and very many good ones!
