Holger the German has done the traverse of Pantymywn starting from the sitstart of Thug Mentality and finishing at the top of Firestarter. This is a very long problem which probably weighs in at Font 8a or F8b+ route grade. This effort was even more impressive considering that two holds on the Mental extension have broken recently making the problem harder. Pantontino has got some pics.
Also at the Mwyn Danny got the second ascent of his bro's Under Pressure/Be Ruthless link downgrading it to 8a with a slightly different sequence.

Nice one Hol, and nice one for sticking with it.

[Richie Crouch]

Great effort. He was doing many laps on the original V11 + a bit more when I saw him last month.

There and back next? 

[Doylo]

The original bit is probably a tricky 7c+ now the holds broke, i reckon the final thrutching across the break just about bumps it up to 8a.

Sounds like one for you Chris.....

Too many projects as it is sausage!

Effort Holger!  And it's not mono's through and through so he wasn't on home ground doing one armers on nasty pockets.  Makes it worth while leaving the Frankenjura after all...
