Thanks for the comment Dave. Yes, the crag was lovely and it felt quite raw still which was nice. Very similar to some north Cornwall/ Devon crags however the rock was quite unique, especially this route with those blocky features which catch the eye. I was visiting a friend who lives in Llangranog and he mentioned there may be some climbing near him so I chucked my gear in on the off chance. I didn’t have the online PDF guide with me when we went walking around here so when I saw the line of pegs I just jumped on. I havn’t got much experience onsighting that many routes above E1 5b to be honest and after climbing it I guessed it may be around that? I was over the moon/ really surprised when I found out later through the PDF guide/ UKC that it was given E3 5C, it was a goal of mine for the summer to try and onsight that grade! Not sure I’d of been so eager to jump on it had I seen it was given E3 5C before climbing it. Maybe it was me being blissfully naïve that made it feel soft? I don’t remember coming across a 5C move though? Regardless, it was a nice route and a memorable crag. I’ll be back, with guide in hand, to try some more lines!
