Submitted by : Adam Morris
Area : Ogwen and Carneddau
Crag/Section : Clogwyn Y Tarw / West Buttress
Route Name : Member
Length, grade, stars : VS 4c Approach/Descent:
25 feet right of Bonfire of the Vanities is a broken blocky buttress,
with an obvious sharp offwidth above it. Start at the
foot of the buttress, just to the left of a muddy gully.
Pitch descriptions:
Climb past blocks to a good thread in the groove below the overhanging
offwidth at 25 feet. Move past the thread on good holds, then
shuffle right to a good ledge below another crack. Climb this
tricky crack then step right again to climb an extremely narrow
free-standing flake to top out with excitement.
