Stunning!
Owain Llewelyn - Lead O/S - 23/Apr/11 with Gareth E

More of a three star experience than a three start climb. Well worth doing and a must do for the N wales coast. Great positions and quite intimidating! it would be a solid three star classic if the rock was completely trustworthy but unfortunately it isn't.
Lee Proctor - Lead - 26/Aug/10 with Ashley Lewis

Hidden - Lead O/S - 26/Aug/10

Absolutely superb, agree with goi. Absolute must do, totally worth the approach. DO IT.
