John Roberts (JR) - AltLd rpt - 09/Jun/13 with John Mason, Ben Wolstenholme
With the Golden Bough finish. Bottom section was soaking and felt desperate, got pretty pumped which made the rest of the pitch feel harder than it should have done.Second pitch was fantastic. Golden Bough is a great way to finish it off, good gear and just four or five steep moves. Amazing route.

Amazing! 50m ab down the Uhuru wall into the very impressive bottom of Wen Zawn. The P1 offwidth looked decidedly nasty. Thrutch, thrutch to a good body jam position from which I clipped an in situ nut (would have been easy enough to place my own). A couple more contortions led to a crazy bridging position. Couldn't quite reach an in situ friend deep in the crack but managed to get a decent cam 4 next to it. Then it was go, go, go for the layback! Paused for a bit half way up it but figured that ot was best to just carry on. Strenuous but ultimately short lived. Only about E1 from the end of the layback but felt hard. The airy traverse was easy but thought provoking. Phil made short work of P2, which was pushing 5c to get round the corner and equally exciting to second. P1 & 2 weren't enough so did the Golden Bough finish, which was steep and pumpy but well supplied with good holds (even if the largest jug looked like it was about to fall off) and gear (sorry, Phil, leader's prerogative to lace it!). Don't think it merits E4 but certainly hard E3. A superb, memorable route - hardly any easy ground and quality all the way. Took five hours - started P1 at 2pm, finished at 7pm.

Wanted to lead P1 but thought better of it when I saw the difficulties placing the gear. Glad I didn't as it was very hard work getting up it, and getting the gear out was desparate. Came very close to getting it clean but ran out of gas inches from the good foothold on the layback. Lead P2 which was awesome and pretty stiff for 5b - would give it E2 5b/c on its own. Misha did the Golden Bough finish at E4 5c. Good holds all the way but v steep but with plenty of gear. Required lots of technical bridging. Ran out of gas again inches from top of steep section - gear removal had used a lot of energy. Impressive lead from Misha.

Pitch 1 is a contender for the best pitch at Gogarth. An awesome route

Swam the zawn, fell out from deep in the crack, got straight back on the correct way and crushed it. really good, great line and finishing on the final pitch of dream was awesome.
