How is it for a solo visit?  The landings look dodgy or is it OK?

Mostly fine now some overly strong people have shifted the blocks.  I'd make the effort to haul two pads up though, just to make the link ups and the higher things feel a bit safer.

Its worth getting on the routes on the main buttress too CCR, Old Gunks grandads pastime, Runner bean and Summertime Blues  are all rebolted 6c+/7as and there is also a new 6c+/7a

Sorry to drag Craig Y Llyn up again but I went there today and the main block is shamone mint! Just wondering about what line I did today, I started off the obvious holds I think you go into on the VN sds and went up to flatty, from there is a crimpy line out right, abit of magic "gritstone" heels and you get the arete and go up. So is that Alice? pretty sure it is after reading the blog e.t.c but the "low fin at the back of the alcove" bit confused me  :-\
anyway, great place  :2thumbsup:

Alice is a left-to-right traverse starting stood on a fin in the back left of the alcove. From here you lean in and swing your feet across, then do the moves up to the flatty, before following the edges/slopers out right to the steep right arete. It can be done from a hanging start on some slopers too, but this is harder.

The best link in my opinion is VN sds into the Alice finish.

Great piece of rock and worth a visit if it's too cold/blowy in the Pass.

Wondered why O.M.G hadn't been done by anybody yet. Looked quality when I saw it last year and glad to see it's been ticked.
