Unless several years of dedicated (until super recent) training haven't done a sausage, I think I'm safe. There's a loan pinch undercut but certainly not plural. I'm keen to see what he's done actually. More to the point, despite hours of scouring, I'm keen to see if I've done a Si O  :-\ ::)

Tom, we're going down tonight for a session if you're keen?

I'll happily point out where his line went as I'm not really sure where your line was.

BTW It's "lone"....

sorry

Any info if this venue's a good choice with the current warm/humid weather?

I'd rather try The Ace in these conditions than climb at the Mwyn.

Was boners on main roof today. UTB was mostly fine but slightly condensing this afternoon.

Sadly some bell cheddars have had a big fire under the roof. Didn't seem to be any damage sustained to any holds but a black mess at the moment.

Boners yesterday everywhere. Routes also (are they not banned or something at the moment? Maybe imagining it?)

if your talking about hope when i went on wednesday there was only the slopey traverse dry ( not the slopey traverse near the lookout another one on the left hand end) because of melting snow , the v5 on the extreme left was almost dry but the tiny
crimp was damp and the top was damp , its been wet in mold today but if the snow s gone it does dry quick because of its exposed nature hope that helps ,no pun intended.

ah well my subtle attempt to turn this into a conditions report on hope didnt work, but when i went to pantymwyn on wednesday everything was soaking so my guess is dont bother. but if your a fan of esoterica last time i went to monuments i did a cool problem,
which involved starting on the right arete traversing left across the vertical roadside face
around the corner using a kneebar then traversing left across the slightly overhanging face and up using a two finger pocket. no real hard moves but lots of them about 25 and pretty sustained about v5 or 6, and monuments is very quick drying.

Boners yesterday everywhere.

Sounds like a standard evening round Millso's.

There is a topo in clwyd limestone to give an idea of lines but its a bit poo and the grades are slightly off.

Doylo's vid of Sam gives a clue to most things and one of Millso's showing Under the Bridge around the corner (at the fence).

I can't find 'Pantymuen' on a map I'm afraid. Is it a new venue?

I don't think it's that new. Possibly dates back to the Cretaceous period although I'm no geologist so couldn't date it too precisely.

To be more useful;

I don't drive and despite having been to Pantymwyn ten million times I never seem to have taken any notice of road names and such like. Just visual maps in my mind. To which extent Lee, you should phone someone like Mule, Owen, Fatneck, Doyle etc etc.

Be nice to see you sometime soon after the last two years of your mono campussing campaign.
