Young hotshot, Ioan Doyle has succeeded in linking the sitting start to Braichmelyn Arete (a very tough V6/7a in itself) into Central Wall (V5/6c+) on the immaculate Braichmelyn Boulder in Bethesda.

This link up yields a very logical and sustained connection, with a very taxing section (moving left into Central Wall) kicking straight in after the hard climbing on the sitting start ends. Ioan made quick work of it, reckoning it was worth around V7/7a+.

Stop press: just got a name for the link from Ioan: Au Revoir Cont
