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.

UKC Logbook Description
guide describes starting up Hymen Snapper but this seems illogical. start beneath first bolt and climb directly to this - delicate and unprotected. easy moves up the corner / groove lead to the start of the crux - prepare yourself! use crimps and edges to somehow gain the sanctuary of a small horizontal finger slot then make your way to the top on positive holds. a bit imbalanced in view of the UK 6c stopper move.
