A couple of weeks ago James and I spent the day climbing on Tryfan Bach. But never mind that, he’s only gone and bought a climbing van!!<\/p>\n

More car-related shenanigans meant another trip to my parents’, and it would have been rude not to go out somewhere. We spent a very pleasant day on Tryfan Bach, helped by the fact that it wasn’t particularly busy. I got over-confident and tried to run the three-pitch Little Tryfan Arete<\/em> (Diff, ***) into a single pitch, but had to abandon that plan and scuttle off to easier ground when I realised I’d run out of QDs.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the big news is James’ van. It a massive posh Merc, and he’s already boarded the back out. He reckons it’s for work, but I can see through his thinly-veiled excuses. All it needs now is a vent in the roof and maybe a side window and it’ll be awesome for climbing weekends! Fans of the faithful old L200 truck needn’t worry though – apparently there are no plans to get rid of that just yet (it’s incredibly useful in winter when everything else gets stuck!).<\/p>\n

As we left the crag at the end of the day we tried to think up a name for the new van. Despite some sterling suggestions, nothing quite seemed to fit. However, when we got back to the layby James rightfully pointed out that it already had a name…<\/p>\n
