seconded down climb (scarry but easy!) then climbed back out as the swell was so big the route was getting wave washed even though the tide was going out!
Webster - AltLd dnf - 04/May/13

Climbed down the first pitch got wet and climbed back out the first pitch...
TCarrick - 04/May/13

Lead pitches 1-5, reversed few meters and escaped up Mordred as it was getting dark.
bluesharper - Lead dnf - 02/Mar/13 with Rafal

Did first two pitches and then escaped up Elephant Wall as there was only an hour of light left. Great climb , must return for the full route.
The Ivanator - AltLd dnf - 15/Oct/11 with Stewart

Wicked Route, cave was dry, all rock bomber, went the wrong way on last pitch.

just as fun second time round! slightly wetter and the wet look cave slightly more annoying. still packs a punch though!

Aaron Lines - AltLd O/S - 17/Apr/11 with frank ramsay

Will be back to lead this! super fun, bit spicy on the 2 cave pitches but otherwise bomber holds on bomber gear! well worth it.
EliotStephens - 2nd O/S - 19/Mar/11 with Thomas Moore

Needless to say the exposure was explosive and that wet look cave was wet. Brilliant route similar to Heart of Darkness in Pembroke but better. Did in 5 pitches (took 2.5hours)

Led first and last pitches. Strung last few together - rope drag?! Awesome climbing with great... exposure.
prinny - AltLd O/S - 26/Sep/10 with Virgil Scott, Henry

Except a fall on 2nd on the last pitch
hrgcb - AltLd O/S - 26/Sep/10 with Virgil Scott, Joe Prinold

started traverse too high and gave up half way through our second pitch. considered going down further to try a lower line but didn't fancy it. Rock is soft and chossy - so fairly horrible to climb on unless you enjoy snapping handholds and unreliable gear. I'd recommend heading to Pembroke instead!

gejones - AltLd O/S - 10/Sep/09 with DafSWMC

Reaffirming that HVS is still a pants-wetting grade. Traversing into the slimy cave on P3/4/5? was desperate, I was runout and had to scamper for the ledge. Following the next pitch was even knarlier. Truly emotional and well worth the effort.
jonnybull - AltLd O/S - Sep/09 with Virgil

We've completed it (and recovered the gear left in it on Monday)! Fantastic route, not sure whether it was the best I've done at Ogmore but certainly close.
haydng - AltLd O/S - 08/Jul/09 with Dave

That bit in the guidebook about the sea state should not be taken literally. Climbed around to the leader at the P4 belay then the waves started soaking the inside of the Wet Look (P3) belay. Ended up doing a tyrolean to the P4 belay and then escaping up Flash Harry. Fantastic route, just need to recover the gear we left behind.
haydng - AltLd dnf - 06/Jul/09 with Dave

Awesome route, saves the best till last! The damp cave in the middle adds a little spice as well!

Mindblowing. Incredible. Scary. Exposed. Steve wasn't feeling the love so we reversed it from the 2nd belay. Pulled off a jug when reversing, luckily fell onto a bomber thread. Will be back to do it justice sometime. Don't underestimate this, it is a beast!
