Llanymynech - The Grid Iron Wall

1. Bah, Bah Black Sheep (6a+) easier line on right-hand side of wall. Start at slightly higher ledge system.

2. Up the Spout (6b) * good and straightforward climbing to a tricky final/reach diretcly above the last BR.

3. Humpty Dumpty (6c+) ** Pleasant face climbing squeezed onto the very right-hand edge of the wall. Easy start to open face via faint crack high up.

4. Hickory Dickory Dock (7a) ** Better on the upper wall. Easy ground to ledge. Difficult moves through right-hand of slim overlap, then thin crack to the top.

5. Incy Wincy Spider (7a+) ** Right-hand of two hard routes through overlap demarcated by a BR on the lip. Hard moves to and through the overlap. Low in grade. Steadier above. 70m required.

6. Pew, Pew, Barney, McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grub (7a+) ** Left-hand through overlap and again excellent. A long reach to and through the overlap helps. 70m rope required.

7. Grid Iron (6c) ** Original of wall and still its best? Centre of lower wall, then face with zig zag crack and excellent wall above. 70m required.

8. Curfew (6b+) ** Superb sustained face climbing from just left of Grid Iron at half-height. 70m required.

9. A Night Torchlight Parade (6b+) ** new direct line taking lower wall to ledge and fine upper wall. Can be used to start: 70m required.

10. Gaza Stripper (6b)* thin crack system from half-height ledge. Excellent climbing, gained by the lower half taken by The Stringlers Needs some cleaning on the connection at present.

11. The Stringlers (6a) straightforward climbing up the open corner/groove line

12. A Night on the Town (6c+) wall to left from the same half-height ledge. Good climbing but only as a last resort when you've ticked everything. New start added on lower wall. 70m required.

13. Sack the Strugglers (6c) * pleasant climbing via a blunt, tricky rib and easier overlaps.

14. Smack the Juggler (6b+) *Right-hand side of wall via thin crack to ledge. Face on left with tricky finish. Has a new extension to the finish via the wall and arete at the same grade.

15. Jack the Smuggler (6c+) * Centre of wall by technical moves from half-height. Sustained and excellent. Rebolted to give a safer proposition.

16. Strawberry Tubor (7b) * a long fine route with some hard moves just below half-height and fingery throughout. Unfortunately has a poor start.
