BOLT REVIEW

is it time the situation here was reviewed? Maybe a forum for discussion on SWMC bulletin board pre discussion at the next BMC local meeting. It is quarried limestone and many of the routes on the WINNING wall are clip ups with corroded tat or rusted hangers/stolen bolt placements. --Roy thomas 13:18, 1 August 2012 (BST)

The problem with doing the discussion on the SWMC's Bulletin Board is that the BB is open only to SWMC members. The adavantage of doing it on the Wiki is that the wiki is open to everyone. The Gower Discussion was handled well by the Wiki and Alan's judicious moderation. I suggest doing it here under the heading below... --Tim Hoddy 16:39, 1 August 2012 (BST)

Llangattock Bolt Review

Many of the routes would benefit fro bolt belays as there is a nagging problem of dusty/rubbly top outs and missing belay stakes.Even when you hang a lower off rope from a stake(seems to be standard practice here) on the next visit the stake has gone.--Roy thomas 10:11, 2 August 2012 (BST)

Tim and I will set up some pages for discussion along with Gower/NT pages in the near future. This in particular sounds like a worthwhile point of discussion at the next BMC area meet in Cardiff (sept 4th?). --Alan rosier 10:24, 4 August 2012 (BST)

LLANGATOCK BOLT REVIEW REVIEW

Notice Llangatock pages have sparked back up on wikki and are no longer languishing in the doldrums,is the intention to do a series of topos(just like a sport crag) using the "pictures" on the wikki section. Or do you want one of the dedicated Llangatockonista's to sing the praises of the crag in traditional guide form.

The bmc are supposedly having another seperate meeting about the "gearing" proposals put forward at the Sept local bmc meeting,any one any ideas on when/where/if such talks/forum has/is/will has takenetc// place.

Quite happy to do a bit of one finger typing if some one starts it off.Don't know the crag enough to add new stuff or edit route descrips however unless it's routes which are regeared or had lower offs added.

Hi Roy, lets just leave it be until we get the BMC nod. Cheers, Al--Alan rosier 15:14, 6 January 2013 (GMT)

Old Guidebook Text Import

A Suggestion. If you wish to import the large volume of Llangattock text then you would be better off doing it like this.

1. Think about and agree on the structure of the info to go in the new page... i.e. what are the sections, subsections and their headings on the new Llangattock page.
2. Create the sections and subsections on the wiki page using '==', '===' and possibly '===='
3. Copy and paste the old guidebook data from the relevant sections to the new sections in the Llangattock page.
4. Refine/correct text and markup until finished.

Removing Dates

To Peter Sheppard - Thanks for editing the Llangattock page. Any reason why you are removing the first ascent dates? --Tim Hoddy (talk) 19:35, 24 November 2013 (GMT)

Didn't intend to, was playing with some regular expression (regex) filters to format the text - obviously got one of them wrong. Will revert and try again! --Petersheppard (talk) 22:20, 24 November 2013 (GMT)

Possible changes needed

Page 346 of the guidebook has an apparent duplicate entry for 109 Cuticle - this may need to be removed from the Craig-y-Castell section.

Whilst on the subject of Craig-y-Castell, as it has nearly 70 climbs and sits in a distinct location the opposite side of the nature reserve a few kilometres away from the main Llangattock crag, does it deserve its own distinct page?

--Petersheppard (talk) 22:50, 24 November 2013 (GMT)

peter firstly, well done. only comment is, you may want to use the #[br] format as msny more routes will be added soon this method will avoid horrendous renumberig issues, al

I think the page is too big and unwieldy. It could be separated into 8 pages. We could have a Llangattock page from which are linked, e.g. The Far Eastern Edge, The Eastern Edge, etc., etc.. --Tim Hoddy (talk) 22:36, 26 November 2013 (GMT)

Visited the main crag on Sunday (having only climbing at Craig-y-Castell before) and took the camera up with me. Photos are in the process of being uploaded to Flickr (flickr.com/photos/petersheppardwales/sets/72157638296582345/) if anyone who knows the crag/routes wants to make any topos etc. I agree with Tim's suggestion that the page probably needs to be split, probably into the bits that are naturally separated - I'd propose:

• Llangattock (Main page, with intro and the brief details of the unclimbable areas)
• Llangattock - Far Eastern Edge
• Llangattock - Eastern Edge
• Llangattock - Chwar Pant-y-Rhiw
• Llangattock - Craig-y-Castell

If someone wants to give me editor access I'm happy to have a go at this and auto-numbering the climbs (though it would be nice to preserve a reference number somewhere for linking back to the current guidebook) --Petersheppard (talk) 00:29, 3 December 2013 (GMT)

I'm afraid I can't comment on your proposed division of Llangattock as the last time I climbed there was in 1974! Best to speak to both Alan and Roy about it. I've changed your permissions to 'editor'. --Tim Hoddy (talk) 01:06, 3 December 2013 (GMT)

Sub divide as you see fit Pete, not sure what Alan thinks but it's a matter of supreme indifference to me. The only futher sub -division that would provoke a spark of interest would be the use of Dynamite.--Roy thomas (talk) 13:25, 8 December 2013 (GMT)
