owain86 - Lead β - 02/Jul/11 with Alex Mason

Nice climbing on big holds in the middle but afterwards the route loses its way and has an empty feel.
Alex Mason - Lead O/S - 02/Jul/11 with Owain Atkins

Got rather pissed off and frustrated with where I was supposed to be going after the flake line. It was ok up to there, except the E4 start that I accidently found myself trying to do and had to rapidly exit from. Dissapointing route overall, the other one is tons better

Start the tech crux, found no gear until niche. A psychological route.

JulesV - Lead O/S - 22/May/10 with Shauna Cunningham

Hard start for the short (5ft 6) more like 5c above dodge landing, (since doing Capital Punishment with the Ogwen guide, I realise I started up Penal Servitude, Ooops!) then steady 5b to the top but run-out, difficult route finding above jugs. Skyhook helpful,one of the best trad experiances I've ever had!!!
