Jamie King has added a 'new' problem to the Standing Loon Only Boulders on the Pen y Gwryd side of Moel Siabod.

On the block about 20m to the left of Standing Loon Only - to the back and right of the largest boulder, next to an offwidth crack there is a sloping shelf on a slight bulge with an obvious line. From a sitting start: right hand crimp, left hand choice of slopers, pull through to a shoulder-high sloper, match - or pull out right to another sloper, then top.

The grade may be a little height dependant.

There are also numerous enjoyable problems in the easier grades on the surrounding boulders – all on perfect rock.
