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.

Rockfax Description
Start up Mental Lentils to belay at the base of the diagonal hairline crack. Climb this protected by small wires - do you hand or foot traverse it? Towards the top, the holds run out requiring a bold step right onto jugs. Finish straight up to the lower-off or top out and belay on the level above. Photo on p.ยงยงยง. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Follow the rightwards trending seam until it is possible to bridge across to Ladder Resist and finish up easier ground to the lower-off. Best approached via Mental Lentils as the scramble up the ledge is loose and unpleasant.
