If it helps anyone as some people seem unclear of where to park etc, I made two quick PDF's for dense to find it. Just drop me a mail here if you happen to need it. It's hardly a published OS map but it should help.

A little warm tonight, but otherwise dry and in pretty good nick!

gruffalo · May 26, 2010, 08:39:25 am

Has anyone got a topo they could poin t me to / send me for Pantymwyn bouldering?

Monolith · August 17, 2010, 06:10:40 pm

Hi Robin,

I'd imagine the gorge to be a bit smeggy at present. I could be wrong as conditions are a fickle beast to predict but whatever happens, enjoy!

*edit as forgot to read 3 posts below.

Dhanny · November 01, 2010, 05:41:52 pm

good today..... the pantys down/thug mentatlity jug was seeping a bit but dryable and the sparks slots were a bit minging.... the rest was bone.

The jug's still a bit suspect, but it's not alone now, the entire front is all but dry, climbable with a bit of attention but 10/15mins post clean everything's slightly damp again, a good breeze or a bit of sun makes a big difference, particularly bad are the aforementioned jug and the holds on the midsection of thug mentality. Mental extension is pretty much fine barring the sloper, which is pretty crappy when dry

Byronic · December 27, 2010, 09:14:48 am

A little bit greasy yesterday, nothing unfixable though, mental extension sloper was in the only bad hold on the link (no surprises there though). I think it can safely be said that christmas eve day it was in the best condition it's ever been when I went down, every hold was like glue (except the thumb catch hold on thug mentality, which was like having a stalactite of inch thick Ice running down it

)

Generally the further to the left the better the holds, a few on the sparks end were v damp.

Also the place looks amazing in the snow.

Thinking of heading up in a couple of hours, anyone been down recently, or have a good idea of what it'd be like there? Be a shame to make the trip to find it drippy

Dexter · January 19, 2011, 11:19:44 am

thats not what I heard I heard you love it a bit drippy

Byronic · January 19, 2011, 06:13:05 pm

My indoor and outdoor hobbies have different criteria dexter!

Conditions a bit less than ideal there today, dampish holds, not too bad with a little attention, should be tippity-top tomorrow though if it doesn't rain, especially post 3 0'clock when the face gets some sun.

Only the underside (undercit sit start etc) was drippy, maybe that'll get slightly better as well.

andy popp · February 12, 2011, 07:49:47 am

I've never been so haven't a clue: is it likely to be climable today?

Jim · February 12, 2011, 10:28:38 am

I seriously doubt it

tunaficiency · February 23, 2011, 03:44:11 pm

was there yesterday firestarter dry apart from the starting jug but you can use the sloper instead, sparks slots damp. pantys down wet and thug mentality but mental extension was bone dry and the robert duval area was dry. Looks like someone s put a new problem up to the right of rober duval about v3 and really cool moves theres a left to right traverse there as well about 7a starting on an undercut blocky fang and finishing on a sloper with white mold spores. Under the bridge area was soaking.
( disclaimer: rained a bit today , any inuendo purely accidental)

Dexter · February 25, 2011, 03:26:54 pm

anyone been down recently going here on sunday and was wondering what was wet/soaked/dry?

tunaficiency · March 06, 2011, 08:58:13 am

to see what its like.

tunaficiency · March 08, 2011, 02:03:08 pm

Are you a local as I'm hoping to get down there after work from next Wednesday onwards? Would be good to meet up with someone as last year I fair winded myself on some unplanned dismounts and the landing under Pantys down is a bit of an ankle twister.
