Access Banned

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.

20m.

Rockfax Description
The awkward dogleg crack up the centre of the wall. Start up the crack (easy at first), until you pass the two bolts on Colditz. Both are clippable, but make little difference to this route. Just past here the climbing gets hard as a result of recent hold loss. A determined and balanced approach is needed to gain improving holds above the dogleg. One more perplexing move leads to easier climbing and the top. Lower off from the ledge above. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Atypical slate - quite steep and very trad feeling. Climb the left hand crack fairly steadily until the dogleg where it all gets quite committing. Push on and finish with interest. Take plenty of cams.
