After another busy weekend, Round 4 HRT WBS is done and dusted leaving only one round and final left to go!
Emma Twyford travelled from her home in Wales to route set then headed off to the Telegraph Outdoor Adventure and Travel Show representing sponsors DMM. Emma Twyford’s ascent of Rare Lichen on Clogwyn y Tarw (Gribin Facet) – given E9 6c in the current Ogwen guidebook – means she now joins a very select group of women who have climbed at this grade. Hazel Findlay is the only other British female to have climbed E9. Emma certainly lived up to her reputation setting a challenging circuit with #13 unclimbed by anyone.
DCC Pap Ronnie Fraser captured the event beautifully and has added some cool effects to some pictures! All pictures will be available to view soon along with some short videos of Emma testing. In the meantime, here’s a recap of Round 3. The problems are still up to climb so come and have a go. All you need to know for Round 5 and final is coming up!
8 Large Pizzas and 4 Large Garlic Breads went in a couple of hours!
