A few hours to myself after a night in Llandudno, so headed up to Clogwyn Cyrau for a bit of climbing. After romping up the simple Groove, I shunted all the routes on the steeper front face of the crag overlooking Betws: not entirely convinced I have done these before. They are nice routes, much cleaner and drier than the slimy and massively polished climbs further left. Direct Route is steep to start, and Pryderi and Gwydion both take natural lines - thin cracks, not too polished. A little light rain fell, but nothing serious, and after working through numerous short routes I jogged back down for a couple of hot pies in the park.
