Thank you for accepting. The reason in which I joined this website is I have found a crag myself and i believe it had high potential and holds much enjoyment. It is a like of natral sandstone outcraps. Located in dense pine woodland on the west hill side of Abercarn, Caerphilly in the same area as the sport venue of Tyle y Coch Quarry. All though the crag is hard to find, it offers some amazing, conveniant climbs for the locals like myself.

Many of the walls are broken and lose. However, some of the rock faces are hard and very compact offering some amazing problems.

The most impressive of all is an outcrop on an angle of about 45degreese holding a fair sized overhang on the back and a slab on the front. The rock is around a meter thick and is very compact, leaving very strong holds of both crimps and slopers as well as a few dinos. One area of the rock is a little brittle. However, with a little work i believe this could be resolved. I have spent hours on end here on my own whilst having good fun. Surprisingly the floor is very clean and stays shrub free all year round and the boulders stay relatively clean. Hoever, a brush is still needed as pine needles call onto the top of the boulder. The landing is on a slight incline so a spotter is recommended as well as bouldering mats not being crucial as the floor is very soft and rock free!

Many of the other compant rock faces holds some pretty awesome bouldering too but i have not spent much time on them as the boulder i just mentioned is most enjoyable and has plenty to do!
