[Andy Smith getting 'stuck in to' pitch 4 of Spectre (HVS), Clogwyn y Grochan, 2 kb]The monstrous third pitch is good value HVS. 1) 4c, 20m. Climb the thin crack to a small ledge on the right, go straight up passing a large ledge to a tree belay. 2) 5a, 25m. Follow the groove above to the overhang which is passed most easily on the left. Head up and right to a belay ledge. 3) 5a, 10m. Climb the steep chimney crack! Finish as for Nea. PITCH LENGTHS AND TECH GRADES INCORRECT IN GUIDEBOOK. © ROCKFAX

Carl Simmons - 2nd dnf - 24/May/12 with Andy Nelson, Ash Sleight

Rested on gear whilst trying to work out how to get in to the p4 (the off width) crack. Shame really as it is all okay once you've wriggled in.
Alex.M-M. - AltLd dog - 16/May/12

midge lead first pitch, then i lead the second and midge lead the 3rd, but he had to sit on the rope to get into the crack. i managed it first time on second. brilliant climb, great fun. theres an in-situ ab point that is worth taking instead of finishing up nea as the best climbing is done by now.

Led P1 and P4 (The Crack). P2 was probably the best single pitch of this 4-day, 11-route visit to The Pass! Fantastic climbing! FA by Peter Harding in 1947 then soloed by him in 1948! Hero.

This felt hard for me. The best pitch was the ultimate crack where Neil got to do some knee jamming, we all got to do a bit of fist jamming and I did a body jam and heave... very funky crack! :)

Fantastic climb- I attempted to lead P1, bottled on first move & liz led P1,2,3- clean until move into 'Welsh Crack' on P3... all fantastic climbing! I led last 2 pitches as one- not really in keeping + a bit like a staircase but not much gear. 2 pitch abseil in dark.

2nd pitch is excellent - the groove is easier than appears but I struggled on the left traverse - quite sustained. I lobbed off the 3rd pitch when my foot slipped on a layback move - had 2 good wires in but the lenght of fall meant I almost hit the sloping ledge. They only injuries were grazes to Mike's knees. Had a few more goes, but after that experience I couldn't commit on the awkward deckable move required to reach the jamming crack and the associated bomber big cam placement. Traversed into Nea and finished up that. My new nemesis !!!

Superb route. The travers left on P2 feels exposed, with the gear quite spaced, but it never gets over-difficult. P3 can be protected well (with some care and effort) especially if you've got big cams.
djones66 - Lead O/S - 12/Aug/10 with Stve mc D

griff90 - AltLd O/S - 08/Aug/10

Impressive climb. I led P1 - nice hard move off the deck. Jerry led P2 - great lead. I pulled up to the crack of P3 but bottled it and downclimbed. Jerry led P3 and I kicked myself as I could have done it. I led P4 no dramas.
