X3 New Development Coming Soon
New Development Coming Soon
Work has started on the newly discovered Crag X3. Dave has visited the quarry twice recently. The quarry is formed from sandstone of the Brithdir Beds, which is very hard and massively bedded, meaning it contains very few horizontal breaks. Two bolt lines (a crack line and a chimney) have already been placed (estimated Fr. 5c) and gardening has revealed the potential for at least four more routes, upto Fr. 6c, upto a maximum height of 80ft.
The quarry is still in a very dangerous state with television-size boulders still coming off with little more than a light touch, and consequently were keeping the location a secret until these have been dealt with.
We'll keep you updated.
