It's such an amazing area. In fact I reckon if I had to choose only one place to boulder (in the UK) for the rest of my life, it would be here....Just love the place.

Locationhttp://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=1368ParkingThere are two parking spots.The main one is at the y shaped junction of the main road at the top of the track - free. Added a link to Google MapSecond one is at the farm just down the road - honesty box.Both have good paths that lead to the final (harrowing when wet) decent to the bouldering.
This might be a good candidate for turning into a Wiki page once it's been running for a while
Have added some info here...
Ive been up to this crag, if its the obvious one on the hillside to the south as you drive aberdaron. I maybe soloed 10 micro routes up to about hvs/e1 which were pretty good and found a few worthy problems up to about v5/6. I also found a rather good roof problem coming out of a cave/hole, I remember thinking poss v8/9, but couldn't muster enough to do it, I also haven't mustered enough to ever go back up there. All a bit like a poor mans carrock but a crag if you get what I mean
The idea for the Lleyn Bouldering guide was ditched; instead all the crags in this area (Porth Ysgo, Trwyn Talfarach, Bytylith, Porth Nefoedd and Mynydd y Graig) will be included in the forthcoming 2nd edition of North Wales Bouldering which will be out this year.

At least you can console yourself that your grade estimate wasn't too far out.
