As we set off, about 5 minutes in, we saw the other group arrive (hailstones), although they went a different route up, we ended up beating them to the top with about 20 mins between us.<br \/>\nAs soon as we started walking our legs began to ache and we realized how tough this was going to be. We had to trek across a stream, gladly everyone crossed without falling in! But this was only the beginning, little did we know by the end at least half of the group had fallen over or was wet! After a long 40 minutes of Steep climbing Mike (our instructor) let us sit down and have our hot drink. We sat by a large lake which some people say it looks like a dolphin from above, while sitting having our long awaited drinks, we saw the breath taking views from below, with the clouds covering the mountain tops. Once we set off again re -energised and feeling prepared for what was about to come.<br \/>\nOnce we climbed the steepest part of the walk, after our short break Mike then told us about the part of the hike we were all looking forward too SCRAMBLING! We had done a little bit of scrambling on the walk yesterday up Cnicht but none of us had realized how much pain and effort we were about to put in. With Mike safely pacing us up the hour long scramble with a couple of quick breaks to steady our balance at one stop we were asking mike if he had anyone before that had injured or died from scrambling up Tryfan, he said no one had died but he had people who got injured from this trek which made me (Amy) felt worse about what we were climbing. After reaching the top of Tryfan we sat and had a relaxing lunch at the edge of this spectacular mountain looking down at the magnificent view of below some people of the group wanted to sit on the Adam and Eve the very top rocks of the mountain. Just as we were about to start descending the mountain we saw the other group (hailstones) heading towards the top.<br \/>\nOn our way down we passed a few people over taking us they seemed to reach the bottom faster than Usain Bolt running the 100m. Like yesterday Keely&#8217;s fingers seemed to puff up again. We called her snowman fingers. Although it wasn&#8217;t as wet and slippy as yesterday at least everyone seemed to slip at least once getting their bottoms wet leaving them uncomfortable for the rest of the descent towards the mini bus with Amika leading the way. On the way down one of the people in our group fell over and landing on his finger leaving him lagging behind in pain!!!<br \/>\nOnce arriving at the mini bus everyone was relieved to finally sit down and relax as we drove back, whilst we sang in the bus and looking forward to our warm showers and telling everyone of our adventures.<\/p>\n<p>By\u00a0Amy Srivalsan-Jones and Lucy Munday<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<style type='text\/css'>\r\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\r\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\r\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\r\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t<\/style>\r\n\t\t<!-- see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php -->\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-3162 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail gallery1'><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n\/\/ <![CDATA[\r\n\tjQuery(document).ready(function () {\r\n\t\tjQuery(\".gallery1 a\").attr(\"rel\",\"gallery1\");\t\r\n\t\tjQuery('a[rel=\"gallery1\"]').colorbox({maxWidth:\"95%\", maxHeight:\"95%\",title: function(){ return jQuery(this).children().attr(\"alt\"); }, });\r\n\t});\r\n\/\/ ]]>\r\n<\/script>\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PB030029.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PB030029-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PB030032.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PB030032-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PB030033.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PB030033-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PB030036.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PB030036-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PB030038.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PB030038-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PB030043.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PB030043-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our hike began up this rocky, steep, mountain it didn&#8217;t look too hard but we soon realized we were wrong!!
