Stop me if you're getting bored of all this winter climbing mania, but there is just no let up in the rash of quality first ascents in North Wales:

Nice one Andy    I heard it got done the weekend but didn't know if you'd done it or whether someone else beat you to it.  Looks and sounds great.

Well done chaps   .... A direct start available you say ?

Nick Dixon always reckoned this (along with the Devil's Appendage) was the best unclimbed winter line in North Wales - however, I reckon Andy's route is an excellent pragmatic solution as the start (when it forms sufficiently) is likely to be a lot thinner and precarious than what lies above. Not that you shouldn't go for it; I'm sure it will be amazing too.
