Hey Rockcat,
Yep - I mean Trench Wall. Sorry I didn’t know it was called that.
It’s a pretty grotty area right next to the A55. It is very noisy - the only time I could imagine it is tranquil would either be in the dead or night, or if Wales were in the knockout stages of a major sporting tournament. The rock is quarried, and there is litter everywhere. It’s the sort of place where I wouldn’t be surprised to find a murder victim.
How these routes get any stars is a mystery to me.
This is an inappropriate venue to be described in a selective guide to North Wales. It’s a inclusion does a disservice to the quality of the routes in North Wales.
If you don’t believe me go and climb at any other crag in the guidebook, and report back regarding the quality of the one and two star routes.
Remember, a two star route should be really bloody good.
Something like Rat Race, or Icarus, or Wen, or Lighthouse Arête. I could go on…
