Routes in South Wales for selected grade

A big climb, with a big grade, up big grooves, on a big wall! There is some fixed gear which may be in a bad state. Start at a prominent flake 30m right of the corner ledges.

Right leaning steep crack, then crossing Attrition, continue rightward through steep rock.

Up to step and follow weakness rightwards through a series of pockets to gain a challenging overlap. (Previously a trad line)

A powerful crux that is more difficult for the short.

The brutish bulge right of the groove of Sundrench. Take poor rock to the widest part of the ledge beneath the concave stratum. Arrange gear, including a crucial Rock 5 in a pocket over the lip. Now move over onto the face. Step up right into a very slim groove and right again into a more obvious one, leading to the top.

The saving grace of the crag. Takes the leaning groove right of Where East Meets West and left of Insatiable Appetite. From the concave stratum pull up the rib, PR, into the groove, PR and reach the top passing a 'sexy hand spike'.

A pump out taking the bulging rib overhanging the start of Sister of Mercy. Follow Sister of Mercy to a jug 1m above the first PR. Break out right with difficulty to vertical cracks in the rib. Climb the rib on its right side, exiting slightly right over a bulge.

The rib to the right of South East Wall. Pull straight over the bulge and step immediately left to reach a thin flake crack. Climb the rib to the traverse of South East Wall and finish with difficulty.

Start at the left end of the broken ledge running beneath the wall. Take the obvious leftward-rising overlap to gain a shallow hanging groove, TR. Finish directly on flakes up the leaning wall.

Start right of Do Be Doo and just left of Flaming Fingers. From a ragged pocket swing up the overhanging wall rightwards, PR. Pinch a rib (Friend 2), then move strenuously up to a leftwards pull PR, to the break. Continue to the top past a final PR.

Start at a seat-like feature about 9m below the top of the terrace running up the crag, below a low PR. Power up this wall, 3PRs, to hit the chossy break. Step 3m left, and make a tricky move up into a thin flake crack to finish.
