Climbers: J Richmond, Y Mahmood, P Brewer

Start location:

Above and left of the ‘Gwynant Needle’ area of the crag is an area of short slabby walls with some bouldering a few short natural trad lines. This route is on the highest slabby wall near the top of the minor top of Penmaen Brith – 150m from the top of the Needle. Clearly seen as the highest & cleanest wall whilst approaching from Llyn Gwynant.

Pitch descriptions:

Climb the obvious clean flake crack on the left side of the wall to a juggy finish and excellent nut belays. Enjoyable climbing which is over far too soon.

Additional info:

Quite possible this has been climbed as a micro-route or highball before as it’s a great natural feature but no obvious signs.
