Access Banned

A major rock fall has occured - access to the lower tier, beyond Dawes of Perception slab is very restricted and has been fenced off to protect the public.

There is currently no access to the quarry and climbers should avoid it for the time being.

The quarry is within the Padarn Country Park, managed by Gwynedd Council.

Rockfax Description
The girdle. Head up One Wheel on My Wagon for 6m. Step right into the crack of Wishing Well. Move up to a break and traverse right along it, past a bolt, to reach the spikes on I Ran The Bath. Continue along to a bolt and finish up Soap on a Rope. © Rockfax

βeta: Some confusion in description and/or topo line for this. The spikes on I Ran the Bath are much higher than shown, and the only existing bolt to the right of here is way across at the top of Soap on a Rope. Either I Ran the Bath used to have lower spikes now fallen off, in which case it looks like a slight downclimb after moving out of Wishing Well would be necessary to pass under the hard climbing on Sucked, or Order of the Bath follows Wishing Well much higher and traverses only a few metres below the top (the latter makes more sense at the grade).
