Welsh bits n' bobs of little interest

So, who's been on that slopey-overlappy roof thing next to the road by Llyn Ogwen then? Looks quite good with chalk on.

Down at Porth Ysgo there's a nice, clean, slightly overhanging wall on the hillside above the new area (Porth Nefoedd?). Did some nice problems on it, but with all the development going on down there it must have been climbed on before? So any beta people?

Also, whilst I'm thinking about it, I climbed a quality arcing arete thing on immaculate rock at the Ricks and Racks (705583 ish) in the summer. Worth a look if you're in the area, felt V6, but probs much easier when cleaner/colder

May have a photo someplace

Nodder has been looking at the slopey thing in the Ogwen.

I'll ask Jonny Ratcliffe about the Porth Ysgo stuff - he's working on an updated topo to the new areas.

Ricks and Racks thing looks interesting. Must check it out.

Cool, not really bothered about the Porth Ysgo stuff in a who did what first kinda way, its just a quality lump of rock which people should check out if down that way, in particular the awesome highball finger crack...
