The Plum - Crack Addict Start >>

[Bank Holiday Weekend Traffic Jam, 3 kb]

A brilliant route with a bit of everything. Start at the base of the gully, right of the arete. 45m. Climb a short corner (or come in higher from the right) and move left to a rib. Climb this and a short groove to a ledge (possible belay to reduce rope drag). Struggle up the wide crack above then move right and continue onto the arete. One tricky section up this leads to easier moves above. © ROCKFAX

I fell on the hard move in the crack. Lowered to the ground and then led through. great climb. I think E1 5c would be appropriate.

Katex - Lead β - 22/Sep/12 with Simon Edwards

Fantastic route with such varied climbing! Led it all in one pitch and was scared all the way up and cursing Dougie for recommending this as the first route of the day! The bottom crack was a stiff start but the rest of the climb still felt hard.The groove felt bold but apparently I missed lots of good gear. Took a while to figure out how to get past the offwidth, went right in the end, and was later told that was the hard way. The step left was hard to commit to.

Gerallt Owain - 2nd O/S - 18/Sep/12 with Dan H, Dan Jones

An unusual and rewarding route. The initial crack and getting established at the first rest was more challenging than anticipated. Then the heavens opened and the rest of the route was climbed in the wet although it started to dry towards the top. For some reason I only took 10 quickdraws 5 of which were hastily placed at the initial crux, making the following 30m quite exciting. Felt harder than Cemetery Gates or Ivy Sepulcher.

The_Boy_ODwyer - 2nd O/S - 26/Apr/10 with Robert Canavan

Guidebook description sums it up - stunning. One of my favorite routes, its got everything! Starting crack tough, moves out of it bold (couldnt get in position to place good gear in the layback flake), groove delicate, crack thrutchy, arete just awesome. A big lead. Managed with 12 draws (all I had) but there were several sizeable runouts.
Si dH - Lead O/S - 14/Apr/10 with Robin Macintosh

One pitch. Packs a lot of interest, felt 5c to me.

Lead to off-width crack, fell and lowered off. Seconded clean.

Ha! In the Snowdonia guide it claims HVS.... I was a little suprised at how hard this was, especially the starting crack.

did not like the flaky belay as it allowed for very few gear placements

LUUMC meet. Felt hard but it was wet in all the wrong places! Especially testing was the damp roof crack as the rain started and the wet peg scars and smears just after. Beautiful range of different techinques. Brilliant!

Bit of a mess. Some hard sections - especially the starting crack! Led up to the final hard 'step' move, but had completely run out of gear, so belayed there. Then it started to rain, so bailed and traversed off left to finish up the Micah Eliminate of Christmas Curry! Best done as 2 pitches IMO.
