Ogmore

Had a great evening session at Ogmore last week. Back in the Davy Jones Locker cave but this time starting from the right hand side. First off me and Rob Lamey climbed a new line Made in Maes CwnThis is a brilliant traverse of the whole cave and can only be described as an epic shuffle. We followed the lowest beam in the massive roof, start by abseiling down the ‘Hatch’ to the ledge then follow the obvious low beam which starts off as a whopping great jug but quickly turns to some open handed grimness. The heel hooking required for the duration of the traverse has left my right hamstring a little tender but it was great fun.

next off me and Lamey managed to flash Martin Crockers ‘Supistious 7b+’ through the roofs above. Got to say this is an amazing line on good rock, we found the difficulties to be much lower than 7b+ but defiantly 3stars. To any one interested in repeating this line is worth pointing out the depth of water under the finish is dubious and learn from our mistake and place a rope for the 10ft of rubble above the top out.
