Despite an encouraging weather forecast it rained almost all day in Llanberis. Mike Pycroft and I drove to Llandulas but it was raining there as well - however it had seemed brighter as we passed Llandudno. Sure enough we found a sun trap at the Empire Crags. Upper Empire is bolted but inherently unstable; Lower Empire has some great roof climbing, generally with good holds between the overlaps. This pitch is very impressive for the grade, and great fun! Highly recommended.
