Dave Noden has climbed a possible new line on the Braichmelyn Boulder in Bethesda. Superstar V7/7a+ starts up the first few moves of The Ramp, but breaks out left with the aid of 2 crimps and a long rockover for the left arête of the boulder. Dave described it as being similar in style to Storm at the Stanage Plantation, albeit a few grades easier.

Also in the Ogwen Valley, Dave extended the finish of Boneyard at Caseg Fraith by continuing rightwards along a line of pockets into the finish of Repeat After Me. This new section of climbing rates about V4/6b, but does not change the overall V8/7b grade.
