[Characteristic Culm Coast rock formations on Tydomin - the gear is just for show as there are no worthwhile runners!, 3 kb]A spectacular pitch on good rock and good holds all the way, with enough protection from wires to keep the flutter factor manageable. Start beneath the amazing narrow wall of culm in the centre of the cliff. Photo on page 145. 25m. Climb the heavily pock-marked wall just to the right of the arete, past a small spike runner at 8m (on the arete) to where it forks left. Continue up the face on the right past good but spaced gear to the top. Low in the technical grade. © ROCKFAX

A 'must do' climb. Soft HVS, but v. atospheric.
ruaidh - 2nd - 14/Aug/11 with Michael

The gear is actually pretty good if a little spaced, small wires and cams useful. Technically it's no more than 4b but great rock and very enjoyable especially at high tide with big waves coming in!

Zoomer - Lead O/S - 25/Apr/11 with Julia Bloomer

Jules 210681 - 2nd - 25/Apr/11 with glenn bloomer

"Good but spaced gear" is rather inaccurate. More like "a reasonable amount of shonky gear, but not much that's very inspiring". Nice climbing though, maybe only 4b?
