Climb Grade Style Ascent Date Suggested Grade
Big Bang 9a Lead | worked 6th Dec 1996
First ascent.

Wales' first 9a and the second in the UK.

When I finally did it it wasn't really a big celebration...not initially anyway...It was just a case of "Right, I don't want to come back here"...I didn't climb for a month, didn't touch rock, didn't touch anything. It was a strange period actually, I completely lost motivation.

Liquid Ambar 8c+ Lead | did not finish
