| Samedmo111 | 21 Sep, 2019 | Lead | I took my brother for his first grade 3 scramble / roped up multi pitch on trad gear. We competed the slab in around 7 pitches, taking a leisurely pace to enjoy the view and sort out the shit show of twisted slings he passed to me at every belay... In fairness to him, he didn't drop any gear and was naive enough not to question my sparsely placed protection or dubious belays. All in all a great outing, only saw one other pair of climbers on left edge, and feel the route was worth the walk in! |

| liamhughes1981 | 29 May, 2019 | Solo O/S | Straight forward climbing with the wifey. Dragged a rope up as a confidence rope for her, so belaying, etc added quite a lot of time. Long route, probably a good 4-5 pitches. Choose your way down carefully as we ended up heather bashing which wasn't very pleasant. |

This route was known as The Ridge (mod), it seems to have become Atlantic Ridge (grade 3 scramble, whatever that is). Nearly everyone was roped up and treating it as a rock climb which seemed sensible. Excellent route. with HelenJ |

| New User 763434 | 6 May, 2018 | Solo | Amazing Grade 3 scramble, easy angle, never too difficult, but very long. Worth the steep approach walk up. Loads of gear and belays if you should need them. |

| mattdennies | 27 Aug, 2017 | Solo O/S | A great scramble in a bit of Ogwen I haven't visited before, a great place to escape on a bank holiday weekend, no parking problems! The walk in is a bit of a slog but the climbing is great, never felt desperate, good holds and lots of smearing! I imagine there is many lines up the slab, it looks scrappy and full of heather from the bottom but if you pick your line correctly and stay to the right as much as possible, there is interesting and pretty clean rock throughout. A definite must do for any Ogwen enthusiast who has done the classics and wants to escape to somewhere a little more wild with possibly one of the best views in Snowdonia at the top? |

Little outing with Jacob. Took about 25 minutes to climb the slab. The wall on the walk in leans so far over I was worried about hitting my head on it! No idea why it gets grade three. Escapes possible and massive jugs. Although a worth while outing especially greeted by sun :) with static266 |
