Climber Style Ascent Date Suggested Grade
First ascent. With Ted Wrangham.

The rest of the party were unable to follow, and when 200ft of ropes was runout Streetly soloed out to the top of the cliff. This was the hardest slab in Wales at the time and only Streetly's second climb on the cliff. One peg runner was inserted after 70ft of climbing. [1]
