Drew Withey has completed a superb traverse on the clean dolerite block 10m left of Lip Service (see link below for details). This collection of boulders lie directly opposite the walled car park (just along from the Milestone Buttress Boulders) and on the lake side of the road on a blunt peninsular of land indenting the side of the Llyn Ogwen.

Split Soul V7/Font 7a+ makes a left-to-right traverse of the long, slightly scooped wall with a distinctive crux section at the right end. There are also various easier up problems, which were first climbed around 2000 by Jez Stephenson and Simon Panton. Completists may wish to note that Drew has linked the traverse into these too.

The boulder field can be spotted on FlashEarth.com at the following coordinates: Lat: 53 deg 7' 20.7" Long: 4 deg 0' 16.6"
