The middle crack is the aforementioned Pinnochio Crack, the Lefthand crack is unclimbed, steep and undercut (the wall is overhanging even tho this piccy disguises that).
these are 4m routes that require gear and thuggery.
Enjoy

Breaking the Surface
Got out this week for a 2.5 hr amble. Utter Bliss.
Life is very tricksome at the mo'. My Birthday passed in a rain shower without much adventure, and I've sprained my wrist. I took solace in my birthday money and went Book shopping:
Inspired by the latter purchase I circumnavigated the talus fields of Fronllwyd, looking for a boulder to consider. However I had forgotten Craine's 1st Law and each bloc observed was only suitable for gnomes.
This led to a summit push, a gentle stroll and a new fascination with Craig Marchlyn Bach. I may pursue this new interest with Mountaineering with some light scrambling. When, is however, a moot point.
Giveaway Project of the Month - August
Just about made it this month.. Life is some what full. Anyway this makes it easier to give stuff away as time is just getting a bit precious.
This Month we revisit the Crack House to offer the one that got away due to increased parental responsibilities. in the piccy of the crack house proper, we can see the jaws on the right of the entrance into the inner sanctum. The slabby side of this corridor is a nice enough V0- but its true potential is realised in an eliminate variation avoiding the aretes and starting rib. This gives a very techy thin slab probably about V4. I made inroads into the start and terraced the base, but time was against me and I've decided to let it pass on.
Please Enjoy!

Quick sesh
Go a couple of hours in occasional light drizzle and bagged this roof problem Gimme Shelter V5
Starts nice and dry right under the boulder on some flakes in the roof, and ends up mantling out at the end after some heel hookery. This pretty much draws my clegir development to a close.
Time to try some classics and find out how off my grading is...

Me Day (well, morning anyway)
The boys are now 11 days old, and Nain took Logan so I could take off for the morning and forsake my familial duties - Bliss.
Once again the crack house was my destination (soon to be fully public) and I went with Pantontino for an ego sesh; basically show and tell and some piccies. Did the last line I was keen to sire. This was Receding Hairline V4/5; a sitter on the right wall of Barred to the bone. It starts off an undercut and a flatty on the right wall and follows the general vicinity of the hairline crack (pretty obvious in the piccy). Apart from ruling out the jug high and deep inside barred, and a big foot block, It felt very non eliminate and Quite powerfull!
Very happy, I packed up the kit I'd stashed there and moved on to a new shed...
