A stunning forecast for the entire Easter weekend, but a combination of bad luck and circumstances conspired against me at times. An early start today, but Vic's car was struggling and broke down completely outside Menai Bridge. Several hours on a hot roadside, then recovery, so we tried to salvage a shrivelled husk with a few routes at Craig y Forwyn. I led the juggy HS corner, before Simon led the easy but pleasant VS of Kiwi. Vic arrived and led Arian, up its fun layback crack, before taking the direct finish which is vegetated but good - using a small flake on the right wall at a steepening below the top. Can't recall doing this before (although we'd done all the other routes), and I finished by seconding Route 66 with a big sac on.
