Many years from now…
‘Now then kids, when I was a lad, climbing in Wales….’
I had to laugh at this. I was at Bangor Uni in the late seventies/early eighties and getting benighted on a climb was like a rite of passage!
Trouble is that many folk nowadays don’t view it that way, and the slightest hint of trouble and it’s a call to MR
If they hadn’t carried all that crap up the route, they wouldn’t have been so slow and got benighted in the first place!
Realise that’s massively tongue in cheek, but on a serious note, if you aren’t equipped to be able to spend the night out on the hill, you’re not properly equipped!
