Wales' Bowden?
June 28, 2004, 10:38:22 pm
Hi,

Went to the Wave (outside Bethesda) today. Amazing place to visit- it took me ages to be convinced the crag was stone and not made of wood! Just wondering if the traverses are high (hands above head), low (usually crouching with holds below the high ones) and mid (a combination of these)? Might sound a little confusing but couldn't really see 3 lines.

Found the other stuff there but didn't try anything else- anybody know how well the place has been developed? I think I like it, but not shure if I just like the look of it! Anyone else climbed here?

Cheers :D

Just to be on the safe side- I don't really think that it is comparable to Bowden! (Despite never having been there).

Was seriously wondering how extensively it's been developed- I'm a bit unmotivated to climb (seems to be going around recently) at the moment so was thinking that a new area might bring my psyche back, if I produced a full topo would anyone be interested? Could be the new Fachwen :wink:

Cheers :D

Sorry, no pics- it's incredibly photogenic though- light is filtered through the trees so it moves in patches and the rock looks incredible. :D
