[unknown climber on stroll on, e3,the grochan,llanberis pass, 2 kb]Pumpy climbing on good rock and gear. 40m. Follow the confusing lower wall to a semi-rest under the small roof at 16m. Gird your loins and tackle the roof (crux) and steep crack above to reach easier ground and a ledge. © ROCKFAX

much less sustained than I expected. A few semi rests in the lower crack, a good rest under the roof and surprisingly an ok rest halfway up the headwall crack, which was handy as I found the top just as hard as the overlap section, though I probably didn't get the best sequence. A brilliant E3

Fell off pulling through roof earlier in the week. More pumpy than resurrection for me.

At my limit, although wet streaks and damp holds didnt help. will do this many more times, amazing route. Also seconded Brant direct and slape direct.

3 falls. one stupid one low down, but lowered to the ground and went at it again, got up to the roof but fell at this crux, then back to the rest did the crux but fell on the second cruxy bit moving over into the groove. Smeary laybacks aren't my preferred style but it was cool to get on and know that just because I lucked out and onsighted a 7a In El Chorro doesn't mean that E3 6a will necessarilly be easy, still you have to get on these things to get better at them. the very top is a bit of a sting in the tail btw...

Pleased to do this. Had been on it many years ago before I could even really climb E2 - struggled then. A bit easier now but still no walk in the park! Just keeps coming.
gforce - Lead - 16/Aug/10 with Kath

took a couple of falls from the very top, the first of which saw me upside down under the roof! felt v hard for the grade?

Just about! Very pumped on the top section. Found the moves near the top to the harder than the roof.

really sweaty 2day. had to think about the crux.

Great climbing, the crux felt burly but straightforward. I found the moves above harder and more technical.

ksjs - Lead dnf - 25/Jul/09 with owen

think i appreciated this far more on second than i did when i led it originally: it really is one of the best E3s in the Pass / N Wales. save some beans and calm for the top...

Great route made even more atmospheric and lonely by being isolated from belayer by helicopter presence on roof pull. Went slightly wrong at the start by climbing into the groove parallel to the crack but got back on the route for the meat of it. Nice day - good times - thanks Hen

MONKEY78 - Lead O/S - 22/Mar/09 with adam ellwood

Fell-off. Last hard move pumped out, returned to semi-rest but waited too long and was juiced. I blame the calves, very weak, if i could have put weight on them i would have done it. floppy legs. Hard 6c

just as good as I remember. F6c or so.

annoyed with this: fell on crux even though i was through it; think i just wasnt there today. got back on immediately, did crux again and was clean to top. the upper wall is no path. very recommended - to be repeated...
