Pot Hole climbing

Crag: Pot Hole Quarry
Routes: Mango (HS 4a:led), Grizzly (HVS 5a:sec), Cristallo (VS 4b:sec), Selva (VS 4a:sec)
A quick rain-affected visit before the usual Friday run. Yesterday's nice weather hadn't lasted, although it was at least dry as I led Mango (for a quick re-acquaintance with trad) up the side wall. This takes some nice flake cracks to a ledge with a tree before a positive finishing crack. Not quite as badly polished as the main face, although that isn't saying much. There was a team on the best lines, so we just top-roped some of the shorter routes on the right as the rain began. Evening sunshine as we ran up Moel Famau, however.
