Ascents in Llanberis Valley Area having Beta

Nice delicate slab climbing.

Tricky section early on with some bold moves towards the end.

Kits Birthday!

Led all three pitches, struggled to get into the crack on p3 and had a short rest before suceeding.

Great way to finish the session on the upper wall

Amazing position easy 100ms+ exposure out on the arete finish

Didn't look at the topo in detail, the direct finish is the obvious line and the dramatic finish a beautiful line of this quality deserves.

What a fkn route....

Very secure climbing with lots of gear

Feel like you're on the 5thvpitch of a multi up on this wall

So good

Max put the draws up and subsequently revealed all beta

Slate is 😎

Doesn't get more novelty than this

bolts and anchor missing at the top so you join into The Deceptive Dyke

Really nice climbing. Reasonable placements. Bit pumpy.

Not many gear placements, but also pretty easy. Felt a bit free solo-y at the top there.

Nice climb. Weird feet (no feet on the right, lots of feet on the left).

Saw someone else attempt (& fail) beforehand so can't claim the onsight.

Think would have managed the onsight fine though as the flash was pretty chill.

Amazing gear, amazing climb. Highly recommend

Amazing climb with great gear

Amazing. Impeccable wall climb. Great moves. Loved it. One of the best climbs I’ve ever done.

Fantastic climb. The direct finish is better than the traverse

Enjoyable climb - Small, High feet - Nice shaded route on a hot day. Slightly over-graded imo, maybe 6b+ ?

Went pretty good up to sixth bolt, could not work out a sequence that worked for me above that. Faucher Antoine was so close though. Maybe if we perserved we would have figured something, but is was a quick one and done for me.

Really cool movement, lots of high feet and pressing, didn't really pull on anything. Felt more like 6b that 7a tbh tho.

Another cool route, felt like climbing a piece of charcoal, again felt several grades below advertised, I think being taller is was definelty advantagous...

Led all 5 pitches. P1 traverse is pretty scary (1st couple of moves). P3 traverse is damn scary, did it low (hard way). The route is pretty intense and exposed (all but 1 belay stations are hanging) not recommended for the faint-hearted. Thanks god we had good weather, always in the shade though, got really cold.

Took two attempts as my fingers were ice cold - much easier on second attempt

3 move wonder, top out is the crux

Tricky start and some weird moves to get out to the sloper rail - need to work on keeping the heel on start hold

Took a few attempts to trust the throw to the hidden pocket - burly first move

Very techy, nice double Gaston position once you rock over

Scary move in middle

Nim's first classic rock tick

p 2+3 linked

Short nice routes. But damn is slate scary slippery

Slippery but that's what you expect i guess

Why is this trad? The top is bolted, but for the slippery bottom you get one piece of gear which didn't protect the deck. Didn't seem worth it. Otherwise the climbing looked great really.

Similar to above

Enthralling crack. Just dont think about the loose flake

Not much easier than fools gold, but it's all there.

Ran a lap up to clean the anchor. Well worth a lead though

The line is just as epic as everyone says, and i loved every minute of it. But i did feel just a little cheated taking the normal line, the direct finish is the obvious and better line

Led it twice, once in the rain after a certain figure 8 knot got stuck
