photo diagram/picture below)
Route Name : Red Faces
Length, grade, stars : 20m, VD?
Approach, descent and directions to start:
Just on the right from the main wall of Dinas
Cromlech (facing the crag) there is a triangular
tower which everybody passes on the descent
after climbing the main wall. Photo attached. Go
straight up the centre of the wall.Pitch descriptions:
Start from the centre. There is a good belay about 3
m from the bottom (little column that you can
put the sling round). Climb straight up, there
are little sharp steps and holds all the way up.
Climb with care as there some holds might be
loose. On all way there are a few little cracks
to put friends in (0s and 1s Wild Country and
Camp).

Crag : Cyrn Las ( DIFFUSE DEE)
Date of ascent : May 2004
Route Name : The Wrath of Khan
Length/grade/stars : 100ft E6 6b
Climbers : Geoff Hibbert , Dai Lampard
Pitch descriptions:
A sustained and technically demanding groove
linking the top of pitch 4 of the Great
Buttress to the final groove of the Skull.
Belay in the slabby bay just to the right of
the groove. Climb out under the roof and jam
around it with a difficult pull onto the nose.
Peg. Climb the groove with increasing
difficulty. Peg.
Desperate bridging and a very long reach brings
the sanctuary of the ledge at the base of the
Skull\'s final pitch where one may tarry a while
. Continue up the groove on enormous holds!
A very fine pitch with some marvellous exposure. |
