trwyn talfarach is pretty poor compared to porth ysgo, i'd avoid it like the plague.
as Ben says, it's worth a trip once you've been to ysgo a few times. go ysgo in AM, then talfarach in PM.
The approach is a ballache, long, and then just moving between these problems is a drag, falling up and down various gullies and boulder chokes with all your bags and mats, and then the problems generally have poor landings even by ysgo standards.

I had a look there once. It wasn't as good as it looked, and I didn't put my boots on.

Not sure if its classed as trwyn talfarach but if you keep going round the headland from Solice arete for about 15 mins of scrambling (or you can approach from top, if you know location) there is an amazing wall. A lovely project on there. Now that is worth checking out. Specially if you are with a largish crew with a fair few pads.One of best looking projects around. Helps to have a bit of reach too Dave.

You mean the Gabbro Wall? Featured in Higginson's film Aquamarine, with footage of the V8 groove and the project crack/wall being climbed/attempted by a range of people including Sam Whittaker if I remember rightly.
