75m. This classic route (not shown) tackles the front of the nose of rock via a series of pleasant pitches. The route lies at the lowest point of the rock nose, down and left of the main crag. 1) 25m. Climb directly up the low-angled slabs of clean rock. 2) 20m. Continue up the slab as it steepens, then trend diagonally right to a stance at the base of a shallow groove. 3) 15m. Climb diagonally rightwards, following a faint crackline, to reach a large ledge above the gully on the right. 4) 15m. Easy ground leads to the summit of the nose. A descent can be made down the gully on the right (Western Gully), or scramble along the ridge of Clogwyn y Person Arete. © ROCKFAX

Lead in boots, plus with a slight variation. Go straight up the crack above the end of the first pitch. Down climbed and abseiled but had to climb back up to retrive rope.

Sean led all 3 pitches. The first was little more than a scramble, but the next 2 were much steeper. I worried for him at one point when, halfway up pitch 2, his last piece of gear popped out and slid down the rope to us as I belayed from below. If he'd fallen there then I reckon he would have landed on us! He did a good job though!

Glyn - Solo O/S - 22/Dec/08 with Clive Hudson (father)

Just did 1 and half pitches then downclimbed due to Mrs MB not feeling very well. Luckily first part of this climb is an easy scramble if that, so easy to retreat! First trad lead by ourselves, so good to practice rope work and setting up a belay. Gutted not to do whole route as plan was to continue on up the arete, but would've been a late one probably. A wonderful location.
