Friog: already in the guide : resin stapled wall facing east with 7 bolted lines to 6c+ and 2 further lines up on the walls of the Blue LAke

Sunbeach North: 13 bolted lines to 6c+ : up to 10 metres high on generally good compact rock with resin bolts and double lower offs ...don't be out off by the single boilt to a single bolt lower off on the first short cliff as you walk north from llwyngwril ...this is not typical at all !

Sunbeach south: 3 boilted lines , 6b , 6a+ and 7a+: generally ongood rock : the 7a+ is on the 10 metres high leaning black wall in the bay of the arch, Black Arabesque is a delight in fierce fingery sustained climbing .

Abergynolwyn : Bryneglwys quarry has no new lines : still only 3 in the big hole in the ground .

Dinas Mawddy ( Minllyn ) quarry : two new lines added since the book : both take the slab on the back wall left of Zone of Totality : fist left is Entering the Neutral Zone at 7a the n next left is the latest route 7a  , no name yet  but best done after some dry weather as the first moves require a very dry wall

Clarach : old lines done on crappy bolts would benfit from a vist with the new resin staples and is on my agenda for the coming year .

Pennal Quarry : just developed inthe summer of 2009 only to be told by the landowner that no furtehr climbing is possibe until access can be sorted : a brief overview is ---> on the right as you enter the gates of the quarry 6c up slab , 7a+ up left arete, then comes a 6b+ and a 6a to shared lower off, next left is a 7a+ and 6c to shared lower off , then on the pillar two 6bs to LO. Finally Goi Ashmore added a superb slate arete " Aretenophobia " 7b+ up the right edge of the gig leaning west facing wall at the head of the quarry : one project remains on the left which is only partially bolted at present . Once access is arranged this could be a very good sport climbing venue .
