With a week of good weather it felt like it was time to visit the coast. So with Andy and Glyn, We headed over to Rhoscolyn, For a bit of Sun, Sea and in the end some soloing.
The day started at Llawder (The Red Crag). Were Glyn did a swift Lead of The Sun, A awesome E2 5c up a Groove in the middle of the cliff. it had everything from steep jug pulling to laybaking and even a bit of jamming. After a chill out in the sun when went to seek out something a bit more exciting. So with a sort walk along the cliff tops we headed to Sea Cave Zawn, Which is home to the famous route Electric Blue. The route is Graded E4 5c but is often done as a DWS (Deep Water Solo).
After a nosey at it Me and Glyn decided to give it a go. with a quick run up a Diff around the corner called Symphony Crack.Then to the big one. The climb starts with a 5b move which is still over a ledge, but after that it safely over the sea. A few tricky moves leads you to a big under cut which you can regain your composure and some strength for the head wall. some nice 5a climbing to the top and success. A memorable Route and a experience I will never forget.
