The BMC are still recieiving complaints from the neighbouring land owners that climbers are crossing the top fence and descending over private land and gardens from the top of Craig Bwlch y Moch. This is creating problems and conflict at this BMC owned crag and there is no need for climbers to cross the fence at the top of the crag.
The recomended descents are by the two gullies identifed in all the guidebooks -the one at the cafe end of the crag, next to Valerie's Rib Buttress, and the alternative, Belshazzar Gully, some 50 metres left of Merlin buttress. It's also possible to abseil from specific points along the crag, but please ensure that you do not cause problems for people below you if this is done.

In reply to Elfyn - A+C Officer For Wales: Would it be worth placing a few semi-permanent signs displaying such information for those who don't read these forums, don't know who the BMC are and don't bother to read the section of the guidebook detailing descents? It only takes one or two misinformed people to screw it up for everyone else and if the information is in front of you at the point of error, there is no excuse.

In reply to EeeByGum:
Absolutley agree - in fact some (temporary) signs now in place at a very warm and sticky Tremadog!

A sign in the cafe might get noticed as well by people queuing to get served
