Primrose Dihedrals - We didn't have a 4x4 so we had to walk-in. The first day we walked in it was blazing hot. The second was fairly similar. About halfway up the route (after a good argument) jamming clicked for both of us and I don't think I can communicate just how much I enjoyed the upper pitches. Amazing, AND a parois tick too.

Her most infamous media appearance was on the TV series The Face. First she accused the legendary macho mountaineer Al Burgess of being a ‘wuss’ (for only ever having taken a single leader fall) during a beer-fuelled interchange in the pub, then proceeded to swear profusely when she found herself out of her depth in Utah on Moses Towers’ Primrose Dihedrals (E4). It provided some of the most memorable TV climbing footage of recent years!

Airlie was featured in another hilarious story I was told the other day re: a one day push on Zodiac.
With as much self doubt as she could muster, and with the help of every swearword related to male and female anatomy, sado-masochism and the sexual encouters of deviants, Airlie arrived at the top of the second pitch
Such a sweet (and at first, unlikely) bit of movement when you shift left into the scoop. I guess it would be better if it wasn't (typically) about an hour's drive from my house - but then again the remoteness delivers that special Lleyn immunity to rainfall.
Hour from your house - that's back doorstep by comparison! Some people don't know they're born etc.

Si, you're lucky only being an hour away! It's 2 hours 20 mins from Wrexham...

Keep banging that drum.
Rub-a-dub-dub – The Diamond. First visit to the Diamond. Could this be the best route at the grade in the UK?
Any tips/tricks?
