High pressure at last, so made a very brief solo trip to this beautiful crag for some shunted routes. Quite early in the morning, so dew and midges made life uncomfortable until the sun hit the crag. All these routes are quite badly polished now - Recession Blues is a reasonable, but short, climb up a tiny overhang to an easier wall. Coltsfoot Crack is low-end HVS, although a polished initial corner is still quite steep and strenuous. Easy and quite juggy above. Did End Flake for old times sake, then enjoyed Insecure - which I don't think I've done before - fairly steep crack climbing on good holds to a move left up a final easier wall. Finished with the old thrutchy favourite Incompetence. Then ran from the crag across the moor via OD to the top of Cyrn y Brain in beautiful sunshine, a welcome change from recent weeks, and back via Watkin's Tower.
