Trevor DM & Fudd Walls - July 11th

Deej warming up his fingers for an evening session

Matt on Sgrech yr Hebog (5+)*

With all this stunning weather Trevor’s justifiably getting a few visits from us on Thursday evenings. According to the pegs the bird ban finished on July 10^th so we headed further over to DM Walls. I know the Peregrines can’t read but we couldn’t hear any complaints ahead of our visit.

DM update

Possibly DM has suffered a bit from the prolonged cold of last winter, looks to be a few patches of new rock.

Looks like the bolts for ‘Co-ed in the Coed’ (5) & ‘Ogre in the Ogof’ (5) have gone. This then leaves left to right ‘Maevanwy’ (6a+), then ‘Scratching the Surface’ (5) and Sgrech yr Hebog (5+)* etc. There are now only two anchors at the top both with locked Mallion anchors off double point chains, these both look in good nick.

Momentarily distracted from Lens masterclass

Fudd Walls

With the loss of a few routes on DM we didn’t stay too long before heading to Fudd Walls, looks to be in good condition all anchors in place. I do‘All Fudd Up’ (6a) and ‘The Fuddities’ (6b) gets a visit from Deej. Near dark, a fine lead from Len on Chocolate Fudd (6a+) ‘Would I, Should I, Fudd I,’ (6c+) got a try from Deej but the cumulative effect of shifting 15 tons of ferociously abrasive Glass Kiln blocks last week in Bavaria was taking its toll, dam fingery route for sure, not many chalk marks passed the 2^nd clip.
