Not that I'm sensitive about criticism :cry: , but...with regard to accusations of overhyping of stuff in the Ogwen Valley - I reckon that is a bit unfair. Not all crags have universal appeal, but most are treasured by at least someone (for whatever reason).
I personally don't rate the Gallt yr Ogof block - but I know some people who love it. (Perhaps the slabby V2 is the only thing here worthy of 2 stars?)
I've had nothing but positive feedback on Caseg Fraith Lower, and I personally think the easier problems are superb (the V3 arete is arguably the best of its grade in N Wales). The harder stuff is a bit wierd, but you do travel through some very steep territory with funky moves on the V5 and V8.
I tried to reflect the relative quality in the star ratings, and I stand by the star ratings (relative to the rest of N Wales, of course.)
The landing can be damp under the steep bit after rain, but there wasn't any rubbish or lino last time I was there. Maybe the Uni hut has dumped some crap over the wall?
