Description

Pretty straightforward and enjoyable route. Low tide start. Climbed the slab face as the inner most groove was wet. Crux move has good placements to protect the dynamic rock over to good holds.
Maybe climbing the far right hand groove from the lowest point is a VS as indicated on the topo, although this seems eliminate and damp. Otherwise face climbing is closer to HS 4b with easy climbing above and below the crux.

Area : Gogarth and Anglesey (Holyhead Mountain)

Mostly sea-cliff climbing and mostly quartzite with a few very minor outlying shale outcrops and quarries. The main cliffs and Castell Helen are multipitch, tidal and serious of access and egress. The routes are awesome. Do them you must, with respect due for seasonal restrictions, nesting birds and the seriousness of the situations. If conditions are not suitable for the main cliff there are some very pleasant climbs on Holyhead Mountain. Some lovely little gems can be found further afield at, for instance, Rhoscolyn and Smurf Zawn.
