Crag features
The obvious large wall/prow boulder that can be seen on right from main road heading from glais roundabout to Pontardawe (a4067). Stunning hard sandstone and low grade problems, landing much better than first appears.
There are many other buttresses and boulders in the surrouding area, mostly down the bank from the main Ynys Mond boulder. As documented by Oliver Keynes who has produced a PDF which can be downloaded/viewed, here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nGolv3OIQ8vDUPumCF95AMcU8ozWt7u_/view
Approach notes
Park as for Glais quarry. Walk up road for 150m past a large buttress on left, a small path shortly leads off left up to a larger path turn right and follow it as it sweeps up to top of hill and keep following it until a stile and onto open land, from here walk ~200m staying near the north/west side of the edge will lead to large rocks and bushes, head straight down and the top of the large buttress/boulder will be visible. Scramble down right side and sweep round under block.
