[Kafoozalem @ The Weaver (E2 5b,5c,4a) - Tremadog , 3 kb]The most direct line on this complex buttress, despite its name! 1) 5b, 12m. GIVEN 4B IN THE GUIDEBOOK BY MISTAKE. Climb an awkward groove and short wall to the first Vector stance. 2) 5c, 35m. Traverse left, then pull up to join Nimbus. Climb through the bulge, then up left to a notch. Difficult moves lead up left, then climb fairly directly to the finishing flake of Vector. 3) 4b, 15m. As for One Step... © ROCKFAX

Better and more sustained than vector imo, ace route finding on really cool rock! Mostly via head torch (Good effort seconding by Anna). Crux of vector was wet too and used every krab on my harness by the belay. What a quality route to finish a fun weekend.

Felt absolutely nails for E2, perhaps cause I strung the first two pitches together. Wicked though, better than Vector!

led main pitch. brilliant, Tremadog perfection - very well protected except maybe moves into the Vector finish (you wont go far but theres scope to hit the ledge below, small wires can be fiddled in to keep you off this). the crux took a bit of working out but is all there once you commit
