Crag: Maeshafn
Routes: Rambler (HS 4a:sol), Puppy Power (VS 4b:led), Layback on Me (VS 4c:sec), The Minstrel (E1 5b:sec)
Another beautiful evening, and another quick work-out on some old favourites, squeezed in between work and leaving for Manchester. Soloed the absurdly over-graded Rambler on the Main Wall to begin - a nice V Diff. Vic then arrived, and I led Puppy Power, a pleasant and slabby VS with some enjoyable moves (also done before). Seconded Vic up the 'layback' crack which is so thin that it is virtually impossible to layback, even with my boney fingers - awkward as a result. Then stormed up The Minstrel with rope above - a fine sustained Clwyd classic, which seemed much easier than when I last did it many years ago. Steep but juggy and positive throughout. However, Flying Block - at the same grade - was a different story, found myself baffled and annoyingly pumped by the overhang.
