Oli Grounsell has made the fourth ascent of Megalopa (8c+) 8c+ at Lower Pen Trwyn, North Wales, just two weeks after James Mchaffie grabbed the third ascent. (UKC News Report)
The route was put up by Neil Dyer in 2011 and swiftly repeated by Pete Robins, after a close race for the first ascent.
Megalopa climbs to the end of the hard section on an 8b+ called The Walking Mussel (8b+) to a poor shakeout followed by an intense, fingery eight metre section of 8a+ - offering a heartbreaking finish as the footholds turn bad.
