Calum Muskett and Glyn Hudson repeated this and confirmed the quality. Slight tweak on pitch grades: F6c+, F6b+, F6c, F6b
I might just be able to squeeze it into the forthcoming Llanberis Slate guide (which is, to all intents and purposes, finished), just in case anybody is wondering.
We will be handing the files to the printer within the week - it really is finished! Haven't got a definitive arrival date yet, but will announce this as soon as I know.

Get the pre-order's up and running!Directly on topic, could someone expand a bit on the approach to this for someone not all 'that' familiar with the quarries, thanks.
Glad to hear people are psyched for the guide (I do kind of know anyway because of the number of email enquiries I get each week, but I'm so exhausted right now I'll take any encouragement going ). It's easily the best book we've ever made, a truly beautiful and multi faceted thing. Wait to you see Martin Crook's diary of a Slatehead pieces - publishing gold dust! Neil, Gogarth South is well on the way - two main chapters already done and all the other scripts ready courtesy of Geoff Bennett who has been beavering away on it for the last 6 months.
One) Abseil down (you'll need one long rope or two smaller ropes). There's a fence post and a thread on the pillar at the top.Two) When you're walking into the quarry and Dali's is on your left, there is a fence going down to rainbow walls. Hop over the fence. If you go directly left on the same level, you'll reach Monkey Bar area of Never Never Land. Instead go down to the next level and walk left. You'll soon come to the Golgotha area with some sparsley bolted slabs on your left. Just a little further on from this should be a tunnel. There are forked exits, left and right. Go through the right exit and you'll end up on a green ledge with a small building. Continue along this level towards the big scree slope, scramble down to the bottom, and enjoy!
