We have a name - Diamond Dogs. A David Bowie song apparently

That's quite an exclusive list to belong to, first ascentionists of 8c+ or harder in Wales: Moffatt, Moon, Carson, Dyer, McCaffie, Robins. Pretty apt that the best in the area have also now done the hardest FA's.

You seem to take the "quality in volumes" approach rather than going for the big numbers!

I ve just bolted the lines I've found and luckily most of them have been doable. Hopefully The Big Crunch won't have been done in 10 years.... I might be good enough by then!
