VS 4c	★★ One Step in the Clouds 1 VS 4c 25m 2 4c 30m 3 15m Popular route. Affected by rock fall so the first pitch description may not be accurate - see https://www.thebmc.co.uk/tremadog-danger! Starts at the base of a steep groove where there is a ledge with a large tree on it to the left. 25m (4c). Climb to a large tree, traverse left and climb up ledges to the bottom of a groove, ascend this to belay off a large flake on a ledge. 30m (4c). Go left, climb up cracks, then up and right to reach a small ledge and spike above a roof. Climb slab with ledges until at the same height of a crack on the right. Climb right into the crack, then up onto slab and rightwards to reach a belay below and left of the flake on the next pitch. 15m. Climb up and traverse the hanging flake, then up and onto an optional belay on a ledge. Climb back left, then up the groove to a belay at the top of the cliff. FA: C.Jones & R.Moseley, 1958	Trad 70m, 3	Tremadog Area

HVS 5a	★★ Merlin Direct 1 HVS 4c 24m 2 5a 26m Another popular climb that has a particularly fine top pitch. Start below the big diamond-shaped wall, left of the polished slab. 4c, 20m. Climb left up a crack to an overhang. Now make a hard move up and right up two cracks and into the base of a groove. An easier alternative is to step left at the overhang and then move up right along a ramp to the base of the groove. Climb the groove to an exciting exit left at the top to a belay. 5a, 30m. Climb the slab up and left to the base of a wide crack. Climb this to where it gets too wide and step out right onto the arete and follow easier ground up and left to a ledge below a steepening crack. Arrange gear and step left onto the headwall to gain a steep crack on the left which leads to the top. © Rockfax FA: A.J.J. Moulam & B.A. Gillot, 1956	Trad 50m, 2	Tremadog Area
