The annual C9C Christmas Croesor trip, initially there was only 2 rules for the trip. You must have a Christmas outfit and you cannot repeat the previous year’s outfit. As seen in the photos some people don’t always adhere to the rules! However after the hypothermia incident of 2022, where one...

Ah yes that was our trip, a throughly muddy place! Was nice to make 2 extensions to the “normal” through trip Public footpath that goes through the grounds passes right past the capped shaft, there is no access agreement and the shaft is once more locked

Endeans being the main adit on Parc 2? Names are escaping me at the moment. But yes we exited this way on our last trip. Approx a 30m pitch, and it means you don’t have to wade through any water

That’s one way of putting it!

Additional to this, some lowlife has removed the hanger from the sole expansion bolt on the bolt climb out of the boat. At the time the bolter ran out of resin bolts hence the expansion. I shall endeavour to return again soon with some shiny new bolts to replace this. In the meantime it should...

C9C Completed the CRTT extreme and normal routes this weekend. Both ropes on the original 2 pitches have been replaced as both had wear with isolation knots. The second traverse on the extreme route (across the air shaft) had significant damage to the outer sheath. Unfortunately we didn’t...

Whilst I can’t claim the initial bolting, we rediscovered this and installed the red rope along with protective mats earlier this year. Glad to see it’s being used!

I think they found out on Facebook unfortunately. I?d like to think my rigging is good! It seems after further discussion with the person who found it today, that the new rope I put in has just been pulled up. I?m heading back up that way tomorrow (again :wall:) I will secure the rope at the...

New rope has been cut, found today from Rhosydd side by someone else. I think the only option now is to bolt the wall as a bolt climb type thing

Replaced all the bolts on the climb with glue ins. If you?re going to do a job, do it properly. Also replaced the rope on the ab into the canoe, the old one was super fat!

From memory the big shaft is 110m, don?t get caught out by taking a 100m! I?ll try and head up again soon to double check the resin on the new bolts anyway, for my piece of mind that it?s all set properly!

Likely Thursday when I?ll go up now, to put a new rope in. Waiting for some shiny stuff from Tony to arrive before I go up.

We were told last year that Cwmorthin is technically not an indoor space, guidance from the powers that be was to ?wear masks where practical and where you can?t socially distance?. If it was indoors we?d have to wear masks all the time. That?s quite a sweeping statement, it does not say in the...

They looked the same to me, I was last there in November before this trip. The rope on the first pitch is at the point where it could do with replacing soon. There was some hostility towards Miles this time last year, but that was because he was sorting the MO at Cwmorthin out as lockdown...
