Llanbradach
- Upper Tier Right-Hand Walls

The
walls to the right, whilst continuing to retain their height, provide in the main
a number of excellent short pitches for a winter's day. These are intermingled
with the occasional longer route. 1. The Missing Quarter (6b+) * blunt
rib just right of the wall containing Roaring Forties. Pleasant slab climbing
all the way to the top of the crag. 2. Saboo (6c) the shallow groove
system is a little fragile. 3. Dandelion (6b) pleasant shallow groove
system and the wall above. A little fragile in places and suffers from seepage. 4.
Burdock (6b) the wall just left of the main angle of the bay. 5. Blinded
by Love (6c+) ** superb sustained climbing on the stepped arete. 6.
The Laughing Policeman (6b+) * crack and groove system starting via difficult
rib. Suffers seepage at the start of the route, hence climbing the rib on the
right. 7. Fair Cop (6b+) * c rack, wall and flying arete. A long sustained
pitch with a technical start to the wall and an 'out there' finish. 8. Aptitude
Test (7a) * desperately technical blunt low-level arete. 9. The Merthyr
Infill (6c) * short technical and worthwhile wall. 10.
My Blue Bell (6b)* shallow groove with an awkward bulge. 11. All Sand
Together (6c+)blunt rib with short steep section. Move right at 3rd BR into
Red 'erring. 12. Red 'erring (6b+) * steep pink wall, bulge and bold
rounded finale. 13. Plaque Attack (6c) * technical climbing up angled
face. 14. Incidentally (6b+) arete of wall moving left to belay. 15.
Cop the Lot (7a) blunt rib on other side of dirty groove to a hard finish. 16.
The Caerphilly Cop Out (6c+) * blunt rib, l-o-n-g reach and short difficult
face. 17. I Am What I Am (6b) ** shallow groove and open face, the left-hand
of three longer routes. Excellent sustained face climbing with a crux finish.
Well bolted. 18. You Are What You Is (6c) * central line of open face.
Crux start, excellent. 19. Is it What You are That is? (6c+)** arete
of wall with a low crux and sportingly bolted middle section. 20.
The Brush Down (7a) * left-hand
line of two to right with hard starting wall. 21.
The Brush Off (7a) * right-hand
line, slightly harder at the start and finish. My
LIttle Rooty Wooty (6a+) *
pleasant face way over to right. |
