Very, very greasy. Looked a bit damp from the bottom but even worse once on it, probably quite good if it ever dries out!

Did wall climb, soap gut, chimney route combo. Everything about trad that annoys me was on this route. Shame as when in good nick and before the hordes had our impact, it may well have been fun.

Never was a climb more aptly named. Good lead by Liz- 'traditional' and slimy.

Nice corner with long runout to belay, steve led 2nd pitch from stance
chile-dog03 - Lead O/S - 26/Sep/09 with Lamyman, Steve Redmond

Crux is most definately the seeping ooze, but then, this is Wales after all. Should we grade for perfect conditions or typical? Either way, top end of HS and VERY enjoyable, worth doing whatever the condition.

Was very wet, horrible! Would like to do again when there isn't a river coming down it. Should have abbed off top of P2, but went into chimney.
