Simply the best E1 in Wales?
1) 5b, 45m. Climb easily up to the roof then gain the groove. Follow this to a ledge then climb the wall above and left to a large ledge.
2) 5b, 40m. Follow the continuation groove above to a ledge. A wall leads to another ledge.
3) 5b, 35m. Gain a left slanting ledge above and traverse left to the second groove. Follow this to gain easier ground leading to the top.

Not the best E1 in Wales although very good. Surely p3 is 5a?
