I once took the wrong gorge up Tryfan, and it taught me to be much more careful about and prepared for scrambling. If we'd not turned back when it got hairy and found a safer way, I'm positive our group would have been in dire straits.
The area is incredibly beautiful, even with reduced visibility.
Oh, sick! I had a D7000 for a good while. I think I looked at the 11-16, but eventually went for a Sigma 12-24 after I got a D800 (my current kit, which I don't use enough lately...).
Anyway, great pic. Looks like maybe you did an Orton effect kinda thing on it in post...?
