Llanbradach
- Upper Tier Left-hand Walls

Although
it can be approached from the right or the left, the most common method leads
from the left and hence the routes are described thus. In the first small bay
are three routes: Hedge of Time (VS 4c) an arete, Conan's Boil (VS 4c)
a short wall to its right and The Lapse (E1 5c) a small wall at right-angles
to these. 1. Rorama (6c) first small wall up and to the left. 2.
Three Men in a Goat (6c) short, steep left-hand variant on Once Bitten. 3.
Once Bitten (6b) *centre of wall. Pleasant after crux start from ledge. 4.
Twice Shy (6a) * easier right-hand line on wall. Pleasant. 5. Hollow
Feeling (6b) * short arete above trees gives a gem of a route. 6. Practice
What You Preach E3 5b
bold traditional route up
centre of wall. 7. Pampered
(6b) * at a lower level,
the left arete of the next wall. 8.
You Change Me (6c+) ** direct line up the obvious wall. An excellent appetiser
for the harder routes hereabouts. 9.
Nappy Rush (6b) ** completes the trio to the right. Excellent. 10. Project
the large corner. The walls to the right increase dramatically in height
and provide a selection of very worthwhile pitches. 11. Torch the Earth
(7b) ** fierce technical face climbing, the hardest move on sandstone? 12.
Dirty as a Dog (6b) * impressive crackline with bolts! 13. Desert Storm
(7a+) *** a sandstone classic. Sustained more than hard. Can be wet low down
early in the season. 14. Twenty Second Chance (7a+) * desperate start
up the rounded arete. 15. Sixty Seconds Go See (7a) * more hard starting
moves with fine face climbing above. 16. Roaring Forties (6b+) * good
wall climbing finishing via a crack. 17. Between the Lines (6b+) * right-hand
line on wall. Good. |
