Stop me if you're getting bored of all this winter climbing mania, but there is just no let up in the rash of quality first ascents in North Wales:

Nice one Andy  :great:  I heard it got done the weekend but didn't know if you'd done it or whether someone else beat you to it.  Looks and sounds great.

Nick Dixon always reckoned this (along with the Devil's Appendage) was the best unclimbed winter line in North Wales - however, I reckon Andy's route is an excellent pragmatic solution as the start (when it forms sufficiently) is likely to be a lot thinner and precarious than what lies above. Not that you shouldn't go for it; I'm sure it will be amazing too.
