    As Ms. Monego says, some of them are essentially lift served. You all owe it to yourselves to make it over there. I'm not sure I'll be making the annual trip any more as my step father, who'd been living there in the winter, is dealing with stage 4 cancer. Hopefully we get a few more days like this together:

    Is anyone on TGR even a good skier? You all post lines that you would never even attempt even though they are easy lines, and you pretend you're going to ski them this winter even though you can't... why do you pretend?

    I am going to ski For Pete's Sake this winter.

    Looks great. How fast does it get tracked out? Do you have to ski it the very first day after snowfall?

    Spending a little of the coming winter in Wales and it's forecast to be snowy.

    So Cribyn in the Brecon Beacons National Park




    and hopefully this beauty, Trinity Gully in Snowdonia National Park

    Getting there is a pretty easy climb, but you need to traverse over some exposure. And there is a rappel near the bottom of the line. This plus the fact that there are many other great lines nearby that are easier to get to prevent constant traffic. But it's also really awesome and well known.
