Both venues are next to the sea. They both have the same potential, the only difference is the climbing at St. Bees is a million miles better. Ok, so on a summer day its going to look a whole lot nicer but you simply cannot suggest this is one of the best areas in Britain it simply isn't. As an indicator the darn SS's have specified handholds, not simply what you can reach from the floor but whatever you can scrabble ever lower for.
Me, Fatboyslimfast (and his better 1/2), and a team are heading to North Wales Easter weekend.... I've never been, any recomendations on areas, problems (6c-7a font) that are amazin..., where we can stay (bunk barn type things). Thinking of going off to the coast as well port ysgol... (sp)Bit of Local knowledge would be great, also is Si Panton's 2004 guide book still the best?

Porth Ysgo is a great venue, in the top 2 best venues in Wales I think, though it does need bearing in mind neither would get in the top 20 venues in the UK...
