Boulder problems

A very long boulder problem. Around 8c+ to 9a as a sport route depending on how many knee bars you find.

Chris Doyle:

Pilgrimage (or The Big Link as it was always referred to) is a historic piece of Welsh climbing. In the early 90s long before the Cave was a popular and recognised bouldering destination an in-form Ben Moon got close to making the FA. The problem was written up in the first Northern Soul despite being a project and its legend grew in Cave circles. In 2004 legendary strong man Malcolm Smith invested considerable time and money (1000 pounds worth of fuel driving down from Scotland) and made the first ascent of the link at 8b+ or F9a.

Initial attempts at a sit start to Sleepwalker were coming in from the left, but after shifting a boulder out of the way a line coming in from the right was made possible.

The climbing in to the stand is around 8B.

So named because first ascentionist Dave Graham was recovering from a nasty hand injury when he established the problem.

Dan Varian:

The Young is one of the most incredible pieces of sandstone i have seen in the flesh, a perfect tablet of stone situated in the forest with an incredible view, soft grassy landing (with even the slightest rock or root this route would become alot scarier). [1]
