Talk:Trebanog

Guidebook checking

From Ian G:

Took the directions from the wiki, they could be improved:

If coming from the M4 take J34 and follow the A4119. At the 7th roundabout take the A4233 toward Porth/Rhondda/Trebanog.

As for the route descriptions, the ones immediately after I Spy Arete could be improved: I Spy Direct - i think the description is OK. Soft at E1 5b. High and Dry - I take this as being the crack/small corner system about 1 to 1.5m left of the corner. If this is the line then E1 5a is way out, more like HS 4b. Eastend Groove - Going through the routes in logical left to right order I make this the corner crack in the bay. If this is the case then the Grade is about right.

Of the other routes that I have done there I would say the following routes (numbers only given) are about right: 12; 13; 14; 17; 18; 20; 21; 26 (bolted); 31; 34; 35; 36; 37; 41; 45; 46; 47; 48; 49; 50; 51; 52

I do also have some photos that may be good enough for topos for the areas of main interest.

Matt, some of this info could go directly onto the wiki page. I'm thinking here of the directions. Possible best to do, as you've done, to post grade discrepancies here (Talk page) first. At the moment, this info is going onto the bulletin board - then you are moving it onto "Talk" pages - Is someone else then expected to edit the wiki page? It's all a bit of a faff! --Tim Hoddy 22:47, 26 May 2012 (BST)

There was also some discussion about High and Dry, I Spy Direct and Eastend Grooves and that some of the routes are incredibly contrived.

(Matt - Tho you could say that about other parts of the crag!)

other stuff

Again, I'm gonna beef up the thumbs. The blank spot on the right at the top of page should be filled I recon with a good quality shot, the others should be quite large too because of the lack of colour on the pages. -Alan

No probs, i didn't finish adding the crag. I don't intend to keep them small - just do it while i'm adding info. I planned to just add the pics next to/near the routes and I didn't get far enough to those routes :) --Del 09:27, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Undocumented routes

I haven't been able to find any reference to a route up the corner to the right of 14. Hard Death Rain Down,Big Black Chimney Area. I'd say it's about a VDiff. It must have been an early route; any ideas? Curon Davies (talk) 21:17, 19 May 2016 (BST)
