Owen Hayward has added a new (?) problem to the (almost) perma-dry Drws y Coed Pop Block. Popeye 7A+ follows Harry Popper Extension to the arete then moves left via a shot hole to get a big flatty. Head left at the same level past Pop Goes The Weasly to gain and finish up the left arete. Pumpy!
Owen also climbed a possible new finish to Harry Popper Extension. HPE Pinch 'n Dyno Finish climbs really well: follow HPE to the arete, grab a big quartzy pinch on the arete above (instead of the finishing layback crack) then make a satisfying jump out right to the final juggy lip hold of Pop Will Eat Itself before 'enjoying' the graunchy mantel finish.
