I'll pass on the praise to the big man - I'm sure he'll be chuffed.

Not sure he has enough pads to be honest though!

To be fair he was trying that highball 7B on his own with those big gym pads. Even with loads of pads it's pretty spicy! The problems to the right are fine with just a few pads though.

Such a great block - had a lot of fun here in the last few weeks.

(There is a dead sheep by the fence which is a bit smelly but hopefully this will stop humming soon.)

Was there yesterday

There is a gap in the all and then a stile to get over. Would depend on how many people you had to help you with the push chair.

I guess not easily accessible but it is very close to the road.

Some good problems, that Roadhog on the left is brilliant

Thanks Dave, I should be able to negotiate the stile. Keen to check it out, looks great!

Great climbing.

I thought that bad smell was just Davo's aftershave? But after investigation there is a dead sheep; too.

I would confirm though that the dead sheep in no way detracts from what is a great all-in-one venue!

I visited yesterday and was so taken with the venue, got so involved, did so much climbing... didn't even notice a dead sheep.  Brilliant little crag.

I agree, thought it was pretty good. Nice setting as well. You been to the Craig y Llyn boulders Ben? That Voie Normale and Alice are good there.

Quite a lot of cool new stuff happening at the moment:

(Not sure why UKB is not automatically loading this?)

Plus, last night, I just finished the last main line on an excellent dolerite block in the Ogwen Valley. About a dozen things to go at, mostly 6s and 7s. I'll get a topo etc online later tonight.

Yeah, liked it too.  Went there last year, when it was first reported.  You're a year behind me mate!
