Rockfax Description
Slab-master or a crack-addict? .
1) 4b, 30m. Start as for Direct Route. At the twin pinnacles, head right and traverse delicately above a rock scar. Move up to belay on a ledge 6m below an overhang.
2) 5b, 30m. One of the best slab pitches in Wales. Climb past the small overhang to a good runner on Diagonal. Move up to the left of the second overlap, then traverse left boldly to a thin crack. Follow this (technique required) up to the ledge on Direct Route, belay on the bollard below the small roof and crack.
3) 5b, 15m. Climb the bollard and pointed flake to gain the groove leading to an overlap. A stiff pull up and right gains the overhanging corner-crack. It is very strenuous to place gear and often better to power up to a good spike just below the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Lead P1 and P3. P2 was faint and delicate and well done Max for keeping his head together as it was a super tricky set of cruxes with small edges and sparse protection. Glad my only job was 'bouldering' up P3 as slabs are not my jam! | βeta? | |
