I chose a poor day to attempt Tryfan with Joelle. Setting off in sunshine, the weather changed as soon as we reached “The Cannon”. Although only part of the way up, low clouds started to drop their load of water making the mountain a slightly hazardous place. Having read of numerous fatalities on Tryfan we decided to abort out visit to Adam and Eve, the two columns of rock on the summit and make our way back down. The OS Explorer map and compass we had with us would have been of little use if the visibility dropped to zero. Also the rain was now making the rocks slippery and since all routes up and down involve scrambling the chance of slipping, tripping or falling was increasing as the rain continued to fall. At least I could console myself with the fact that I had previously climbed Tryfan. The mountain will still be there for another day.
