Easy first official HVS. Only one 5a move, which needed confidence rather than skill, enjoyed regardless.

I got 3 pieces of gear, all about mid-height, so HVS is not completely unreasonable. Definitely not 5a, though!

Looking in an old guide book I think there's a bit of a confusion. To the left of Caerfai Crack there is a VS 4c (The Byrn) and then to the right of Caerfai Crack in between this route and White Corner there is a delicate slab route (HVS 5a - The Bryn).
Jay C - Lead O/S - 08/Apr/12 with Clay C
The one left of Caerfai crack looking at the crag. Definitely only VS

VS 4c as with most of the routes on this wall the slab by first half is quite run-out (I placed a 00 micro wire that Rik said he wouldn't hang an ActionMan off).
