his is a long standing favourite with local climbers since it is so close to the centre of Blaenau, just a 15 minute walk from the Queens (no really?!) and even closer to Cell B. It is characterised by a series of old school technical problems on some cool quarried walls with brilliant landings, and some more modern offerings in a boulder field a few meters away. The whole place is just quality with a real range of climbing styles including technical walls, steep burly roofs, fingery arêtes and even a couple of traverses. However, you will need a bouldering mat for most of the problems in the boulder field and a spotter might even be a good idea too. But best of all there are plenty of things to work at and hopefully tick off as you get stronger.

ae hon yn hen ffefryn, deg munud ar droed yn unig o ganol y dref (neu Cellb) i’r graig. Ceir golygfeydd gwych, a nifer o broblemau technegol gyda chymysgedd o ddringo a thoeau serth yn denu dringwyr o bob safon i fwynhau’r graig hon. Bydd
angen mat glanio arnoch yn ogystal â spotter, ond mae digon o amrywiaeth a sialens i bawb ddatblygu yma.
