A major rock fall has occured - access to the lower tier, beyond Dawes of Perception slab is very restricted and has been fenced off to protect the public.
There is currently no access to the quarry and climbers should avoid it for the time being.
The quarry is within the Padarn Country Park, managed by Gwynedd Council.
Rockfax Description
Abseil to a hanging belay on a bolt. Move up from a scoop into another scoop. The bulging wall above leads to a line of jugs leading leftwards to a groove. © Rockfax

βeta: Cleaned June 2020. No more snappy than normal for slate. No gear until after crux - 7b DWS is a more useful grade. Topo line is too direct at the top. As description says, move left to a groove. From the base of the groove, either continue up left to a common finish with Sucked and Wishing Well at the tree (my preference), or go straight up and move back right just below the top. Alternatively it is possible to move right from the line of jugs to finish more easily as for Bathtime. | ||
