Just classic VSs for the rest of your retirement days then...

It's either that, winter climbing, surfing or roadbiking.

I'm not retiring just don't think i'll do any more new F8bs!  ;)

You need at least a six incher for 8b but i was mainly referring to the fact that my routes are reachy as fuck.

Great stuff. Nice one Pete. What a special place, such a wild and remote feel. Must have been such a thrill to first discover that wall, plus Nefoedd and Talfarach of course.

 Big up to Higginson who found Bytilith and Nefeodd all those years ago whilst going for a wander about on a day out when the rest of us were developing routes at Talfarach.... He knew there must be more than just Porth Ysgo and after studying geological maps (good tip off from Jules Lines) it was just a case of putting in the leg work. He always loved searching out new stuff.
