Couple of stunning new routes from Pete Harrison in Gideon Quarry above Llanberis. First one's a hard crack thing and the second is a great looking 42m F7a+ clip up.

Here's a pic I took of Pete abbing in for an earlier attempt on Senior Citizen Smith. Crazy place and loads of future potential!

Haha, yep, the grade terminator. Good that he's around to keep things honest.

It might be that your original grade stands - depends if other folk can use that manky jam?

Anyway, you should have thrown back a taunt about Liquid Ambar only being F8c!  ;)

I doubt I'll ever utter a sentence which links the words 'only' and  '8c'  ;D

Great to see some activity on this wall, Bone people was great and tonnes of scope. Seems to have been a little rockfall in the Citizen area since I last scrutinised this wall, (2007-8 ish) might just be the rats nest of boulders in the bottom readjusting...

I say this cos I can now see a good looking roof crack in the top right corner and I swear I haven't clocked it before ( and a massive boulder I squeezed behind isn't in the piccy either)
