Crag: Trevor Rocks, Eglwyseg
Routes: Dai Laughing (f5a:led), The Valleys Initiative (f5b:led)
Rain was already sweeping in from the Berwyns as we arrived at the crag, walking in to the routes more in hope than expectation. By the time we arrived, the rock was sodden, as were we, so we gave up and went for a run along the escarpment to Twilight Tower Buttress, with a continuous band of showers coming in from the west. The path down to OD is very feint here, much more so than the other limestone valleys - Pinfold and the like. At the bottom. we ran down OD then along the road back to the car. Another heavy shower as we tried again to climb, before a short clearance eventually allowed us to do a couple of routes. Sadly, both were awful: soapy rock, sloping holds, rusty lower offs. Even by the standards of Trevor, this section of cliff is uninspiring. More rain came as a relief and we scampered back to the car glad to have an excuse to finish before midday.
