An absolute gem of a route, great scramble and fantastic views! Definitely one of my favourites now 👌

Just done this for the 3rd time, it’s a lot of fun and doesn’t require a long day out. And as you say, the views are wonderful out to sea and Anglesey. Feels like some of the G2s I’ve done at the start, and the rock is pretty much 100% reliable. Great video 🤙🏻

[@clogsonthemountain]

@JayChambers83 thanks, yes it's a great little route which won't take long to do 👍

Wow Awesome views

I climbed it one week ago. Superb route! Seems sketchy at grade 1.

[@clogsonthemountain]

Nice little route indeed.

[@ZenPlatform1]

Also yes I believe there is a different start to the arête that would make it a grade 3, to the left of the Vdiff

[@richardharding2942]

Remember I once tried to convince my farther to climb it, but he got too scared

[@clogsonthemountain]

Understand the scared part too well. I have never imagined being able to do most of my scrambles 2 years ago

[@paulmorrey4298]

A great book for loads of theses routes is Snowdonia Mountains walks and scrambles by Mark Reeves Its a rockfax publication so good topos. I`ve no connection to the book other than a satisfied owner .
