That thumbnail reminds me of the rock at Preseli

Cheers. You can thank Noodles for finding the crag and moral support i.e. refusing to lie in the shade and baking in the sun etc also trying to get into my rucsac, stealing water bottles etc etc.

Just googled Preseli and I see what you mean, very similar structures. This is Y Rhinogau of course, as usual  ::) Part of now a nice wee circuit, the second problem here

Dress sense is impeccable as usual  ::) I've had to buy more 3/4 lengths as these ones were getting shredded by my haphazard bumbling.

Sticking this in non-quality because although the climbs are new, the details will be published eventually in South Snowdonia Bouldering. Nothing remotely non-quality about the problems, the rock, nor the setting though:



Bookworm looked cool, reminded me of Breakfast, shame about the lack of topout, too dangerous or?

Just found out that "Bookworm" and "Good Honest Angles" were previously done by Emyr Jones a few years ago, am awaiting names and grades from him. "BW" is nowhere near as good as Breakfast alas, and the top-out is a TT E3 5c solo above jagged boulders.

Given that this clearly isn't gritstone, does anyone know what it actually is? Sandstone presumably? But then why does it look volcanic?

Yes. It’s called ‘gritstoniau’.

from JB BITD on this thread
Geologically speaking, these grits are much closer to the Cilan grits and a long way from the Carboniferous 'Millstone' grits of the pennines. Be aware that although we bandy around the term grit all the time what we are actually referring to is a specific group of deposits linked by age and area and, crucially as we are talking about sedimentary rocks, the origin of the sediments. The particle size may be the same but if the particles didn't coming from the right range of now denuded mountains, the rock ain't going to be the same. This helps explain why our pennine grits seem to be pretty much unique worldwide.

I predicted that some pedantic cockweasel would get their nappy in a twist about that, which is partly why I made the "gritstone" bit extra clear this time  :2thumbsup:

One might be able to go through some convoluted geological nitpicking to investigate why Rhinog gritstone "isn't" gritstone, which wouldn't change the fact that it's scarcely any different to average grit than Slipstones is to Ramshaw or Woodhouse is to Cratcliffe, and that it's a lovely, unscrittly rock to climb on (albeit not with as pure formations as Pennine gritstone).

Ah no, now you see Gritstone is a Protected Designation of Origin applying to certain sandstones found south of Wensleydale, west of the A1/M1, north of Carsington Water, and east of the Forest of Bowland.

Curiously enough at least Oldridge Pinnacle and Harston Rock are South of Carsington Water, and more mundanely Thorn Crag and various Lancs grotholes are West of Forest Of Bowland.

No gritstone in sight here (that's the next 2 videos), and a totally shameful lack of mat throwing, but a few pretty neat problems in a hopefully palatable sub 3 min format:

I agree, was talking to Fiend the other day about the wicked swirly shapes. That big arête at the start doesn't look half bad either!
