Great corner crack. Challenging crux both technically and physically, but plenty of bomber gear. The easier climbing above is joyful if you keep away from the brambles.

Done in one pitch, top pitch rarely done but has superb rough rock so well worth doing despite the ivy.

C led p1, I led p2. Excellent route. First pitch easier than it looks, 2nd pitch has been cleaned recently and is a delight, finishing up the rib to the right of the chimney

Great route although it is quite hard to find. Dave lead crux pitch top bridging all the way. second pitch jungle adventurneering.

First climb at Tremadog. I lead 1st, which was a brilliant bridging corner. The climb is let down by the second pitch which was, to be honest, dump. Also the Diff approach was terrifying in the damp with trainers.
Dave 88 - AltLd O/S - 07/Apr/12 with Double Knee Bar

Lead P2. First pitch was class, second was crap.
Double Knee Bar - AltLd O/S - 07/Apr/12 with Dave 88

This is a good route if you can find it. The scramble to the start is as hard as the main pitch. Beware of the brambles.

most challenging route ive done so far as a climber which hasn't really been very long. The second pitch was fine and i got through it easy but i must admit i did struggle a bit on the crack.layed back up the middle part then there was a few holds to get up the rest. I did rest down on the rope once or twice but i managed to get through it so overall happy :)

Pretty hairy in places but otherwise enjoyable climbing, got a old (rigid) size 3 friend stuck just a few feet from the top, if you can get it out you deserve it

dan gibson - Solo O/S - 22/Apr/09

Way harder than grades given the guidebook. 1st pitch is outstanding; very gymnastic. Second pitch is initially jungle exploration followed by by a desperated climb up a corner 'cause a crucial foothold is very polished. Might be better for the tall!
climbinmunkey - AltLd dog - 13/Apr/09 with Helen

Top pitch needs a bit of gardening.
ritchierich - AltLd rpt - 12/Apr/09 with Wyn Price

Just beat the dark. P2 still vegetated but worth it for the main crack.
babymoac - Lead - 25/Jan/09 with Gareth

Seymore Butt - 2009

Scramble to the start (up broken chimney left of Kestral Crack) might want to be pitched. 1st pitch looks intinidating, but strenuous moves alls short lived, and load of good gear. Really nice pitch. 2nd pitch still a bit over grown, but good position on exposed slab.
Karlos - AltLd O/S - 27/Sep/08 with Ben

Led pitch 2. The approach was rather exciting! Pitch one also had its moments (and was definitely harder than the 4b given in the guide). A nice route all told though. Could do with more traffic on the upper slab!
