Had a fine day out yesterday with Jon and Alex on the beautiful
Lleyn Peninsula. The North Coast near Trefor is like a mini-mountain range falling into the sea. We climbed the classic 7 pitch
HVS Fantan B. Which I'd highly recommend to those with an adventurous streak. Having said that it's quite involved for an
HVS; long, run out in places and with one or two spots where you have to make a move where falling shouldn't be fatal but would be unpleasant. However the rock on the whole is pretty good so it doesn't warrant
MXS.
Here's some pics
How
everyone imagines the Lleyn - a coastline of fear!
The reality? a seaside holiday venue

The wonders of an Indian summer Jon on the final technical pitch with sweeping
panoramic views.
The surprising finale along the crest of the quarry seals the alpine feel of the whole route.
