Would I be right in thinking this dries relatively quickly?

I'd say definitely yes.

Go and get on it, it's brilliant - wild moves and such a great line!

Jonny boy has climbed the attractive groove left of the arete - he didn't name it Seiriol Bowl.  :'(

Looks ace. I remember looking up at this from the a55 on the way home from work every day. I looks really intimidating from down on the road. 
Nice one.

It's fucking awesome Rich, can't think of a better sport route I've been on in the UK, all credit to Gav,  :beer2:  there can't be many plums like that left in the UK.

John, it dries super quick and would be climbable between light showers as long as the wind was up. It takes absolutely no seepage either.

Surprised the groove went at 6c!

Title: Re: [Release the Hounds][F7c/+][Craig Seiriol]
Post by: chummer on May 21, 2011, 11:10:13 am

Me too, it climbs super good, you end up right on the top of the flying fin thing at the end of the groove, wild! Fuck knows about the grade, it could even be easier

Post by: Doylo on May 22, 2011, 01:21:07 pm

The groove is fantastic, not sure of grade, i thought probably 6c but Rob and Lee thought it was harder than boardwalk. Two classics side by side

We got turned away on the approach today by a quarryman,said it was private land,we didn't argue to make things worse,we were well out of the way on what looked like a track used by locals and 50 yards from where the quarry ends and the track starts.Probably need to tell people only to go when the quarry is shut,also tried an approach from llanfair but no easy path that we could find.
