Anyone been here? Top little venue between wrexham and buckley.
Have been there myself a few times before and have just started to work some of the harder problems - although I don't think there's anything mega hard here. I have never seen anyone else climb here although my mates say they have seen some lads climbing and there's usually chalk on most of the holds.
I am intrested if there has been a topo or problem descriptions with grades published anywhere. I remember pantontino mentioned a new clywd rock guide coming out - is it in that?

Went back here last friday. Had a monster 3 hour session.
A big thanks to Mark (local lad) who showed me all the problems (although I couldn't do most of them). Proper good little place with even more top problems than I previously thought

Never even heard of the place - is it limestone? Good spread of grades?

I was informed that it is actually sandstone although I'd have never of guessed (its nothing like frodsham/pex/font). Good spread of grades up to about V7/8. Lots of easy stuff and lots of middle of the road stuff (my limit about V5/6)

Cool - might have a look next time I'm down that way - is it easy to find?
