The fine central offwidth provides a mighty struggle on an unsung Welsh gem
1) 4a, 25m. 5m left of the lowest point of the buttress is a chimney. Follow this past a small ledge to gain a slabby groove on the right. Climb this and move left to belay on a grassy ledge
2) 5a, 20m. Gain the offwidth-crack which looms above and fight up it using the chockstones for protection and holds, a big cam might be useful but is a little unsporting. Belay at the top of the crack
3) 4a, 25m. Move right to the rib and climb this until a stride left gains a square cut groove. Follow this to a belay on easier ground
4) 15m. Scramble off.
