Climbing at Penallta, Ystrad Mynach

As the weather makes a change for the better, the last week of sunshine proved too tempting and we ventured out to Penallta. Penallta is a great sandstone outcrop which overlooks Ystrad Mynach not too far from Llanbradach. Bouldering and Trad are available in abundance.


Claire starts out looking like a pro throwing out some shapes.....





Unfortunately a flapping wet dolphin incident took the shine off as she belly flopped onto a ledge and started climbing upside down!!!!! Some may say this is a skill, but I assure you....its not.






































Late night bouldering, Penallta.
So nice sized bouldering with various level problems, the worried expression comes from ingesting my left leg as I stretch a lil too far!!!!!








Lovely heel hook there.......



















And for my finale, catching a dyno at full stretch. Penallta is an awesome place for practising large dyno's!
