Today Pete Robins paid a visit to the Bat Cave at Porth Nefoedd and came away with two cracking new additions. First to fall was The Dark Knight sds 7C, the ultra steep arête at the top entrance to the cave. Pete had tried this the previous weekend, but had split a tip on a sharp hold left of the arête. Today he sussed out a better, finger friendly sequence, twisting around the arête from the guppy horn to reach and match in the break.

Next on the menu was the obvious left hand start to Robin, the excellent 6C+ sds arête in the back corner of the cave. The Holy Cow start rates a tough 7B and features a hard slap rightwards to the base of the arête from the finger ramp in the centre of the steep face.
