Adam Hocking on the crux section of the Sheep Pen link (with the Gnasher exit) V10/7c+ photos: Si Panton


.

Another stunning clear day in the mountains and what better place to be than the sunny Sheep Pen Boulders in the Ogwen Valley. The big link running right-to-left across the radical Main Block was mentioned as an obvious project in the NWB guide, but has held out as one of the last great challenges until now. This afternoon Adam Hocking pieced it all together in one determined push, despite a wet pocket on the finishing problem Gnasher.

Adam cautiously suggested a grade of hard V10/7c+. A harder project extension running leftwards into the top of Jerry’s Problem remains.
