Rockfax Description
A pleasant single-pitch route. It is no pushover though and many will want a plus-sized cam. Start at the bottom left of the slab. Move up and left across a awkward and balancy initial wall to gain the slab proper. Head straight up the centre, via some technical moves, to the base of a short groove. Climb the groove and then move right to the base of the wide final crack. Finish up this and abseil off the rounded block. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Gardd is Welsh for garden! A pleasant single pitch that seeks the best rock avoiding the vegetation. Can be damp. Many variations possible
1. 49mts. 5a. Traverse right over a bulge, and then straight up the slab seeking the best rock, both delicate and reachy. Continue up a short groove, then moving right to a crack which widens for and interesting finish.

βeta: Ab station now replaced and using the old peg as back up (August 2025) Well that was an adventure up and into the undergrowth... Beautiful balcony of plants at the top....! There's some lovely climbing on this - if only it wasn't full of plants, a green sheen on the slab, and dampness. Impossible to keep feet clean. The cam you need for the crack needs to be HUGE - the size of a sizeable adult thigh... Take a look from the bottom and make your own mind up. | βeta? | |
