| Lockwood's Chimney - a taste of Mountaineering! The alternative climb and abseil, in a mountain atmosphere on an historic route. The Rev. Lockwood chose it well for this is a classic: a grand approach, a devious route, and a big abseil. This is an activity day no one should miss!Traditionally climbed by a full moon in evening dress after closing time, we break tradition and use daylight and ropes! After the approach through the woods, we grab a bite to eat and set off up the first section of ledges and easy cracks leading to the crux. A few people have trouble, but a quick pull on the rope from above gets everybody up. This vertical section (photo) takes us to a series of ledges going back into the mountain, to an easy climb back into daylight. The view from here is spectacular with the river 100m below, and woods and mountains all around. Here we set up the ropes for a 50m abseil to the ground for a late lunch. After recovering the ropes we walk back to the lake and return to Llangollen just in time for tea. This adventure is available on any date for groups of four or more. £105pp Your Scores 100%!
