"Eight days later, our free bid would end a mere sixty feet from the summit anchor. Having run out of water that morning, in blistering heat, we inched higher till we hit the final aid section. Sadly, we had to aid through it. Our bid for an all-free ascent, coming from the ground, in a push, would end here. A few days later, we returned via the Tuolumne high country and were able to put together an amazing final pitch (12a), thus making the wall’s first free ascent (albeit discontinuous)." (Sandhal) An estimated 5.13b including a hard-to-grade horizontal dyno for his free ascent. ### References [1] [https://climbingzine.com/old-school-south-face-mount-watkins-brooke-sandahl/](https://climbingzine.com/old-school-south-face-mount-watkins-brooke-sandahl/)

Brown's first attempt finished at the niche below the crux where he dropped his peg hammer on his unfortunate belayer. By 1961 it was regarded as a trade route. Climbed free by 1968, FFA by persons unknown. Brown's piton above the niche survived until July 2024. ### References [1] [https://climbing-history.org/library/7288/llanberis-pass](https://climbing-history.org/library/7288/llanberis-pass) [2] [https://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/rock_talk/ron_moseley_and_left_wall-127598](https://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/rock_talk/ron_moseley_and_left_wall-127598) [3] [https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crags/dinas_cromlech-4/cenotaph_corner-3195](https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crags/dinas_cromlech-4/cenotaph_corner-3195)
