A short clip of France’s Caroline Ciavaldini climbing The Quarryman in the Llanberris slate quarries in North Wales.

Caroline Ciavaldini climbing The Quarryman above Llanberis, North Wales in April 2016.

What’s that corner really like, half-way up the huge Twll Mawr hole? After having nabbed the coveted first female ascent, French climber Caroline Ciavaldini shows how it’s done. And yes, those footholds really are as smooth as glass.
