The one-time crucible of Welsh climbing. The fine crags of the Pass are easily accessible from the road. On the north side, the principal crags are: Dinas y Gromlech (bearing the famous line of Cenotaph Corner), Carreg Wastad (flat rock) and Clogwyn y Grochan. Further down the valley is Craig Ddu (black rock). On the south side, the principal 'roadside' cliff is Dinas Mot.
Had a tough one for this lead. Went into it nervy. Had built it up too much in my head. Dropped my nuts right at the crux and took a while to sort myself out. Got a nice cam in right at the roof so just went for it and finished the route with the gear I had. Good to be pushing myself. Came out with some good learning points - distribute nuts better across rack being the main one. Also that I can do 4b moves. I shouldn't be intimidated. And I can get out of a shit situation.
