Pen Llyn Submitted Photos


I think I submitted all of these to the guide?? Clearly some of them are a bit bland (but then are so are some of the used photos), but others I think do a decent job of showing off some areas / routes (including in comparison to used shots). Anyway they might provide some inspiration.

Coprolalia, Carreg Lefain

This is a bland shot with bad lighting (salvageable?) but there's not many shots of Carreg Lefain which is a pretty important inland crag due to sunny aspect, easy access, decent grade spread, good climbing, etc.


The Incredible Surplus Head, Trwyn Maen Melyn




Queer Bar, Trwyn Maen Melyn


Aside from a great photo of The Bardsey Ripple and a very small one of TISH, there's only one other photo of Trywn Maen Melyn, which seems odd given it's an important crag for access and great climbing, and has some strong lines like Queer Bar. 

This is the only other photo and while it's important to have Streaky in, a lineless Severe that is of no interest to a typical E2-ish visitor to the crag doesn't seem ideal.


Cantre'r Gwaelod, Cilan Head


Yes this is a plain arse shot (albeit with nice light), but there aren't many photos of Cilan overall (apart from multiple shots of the already well-known Vulture), and certainly not showing off the more accessible and welcoming routes.


Votes For Dogs, Craig Dorys

Yes this is a plain arse shot....but then it's very similar to the arse shot that was actually used - but with a slightly better orientation and much clearer clothes / ropes....



Scissors, Charlie's Point


Okay, I think thse are pretty cool shots, but then the double page shot of Pat on this route is even better, *shrug*


Tanya's Tenacity, Wylfa West



Boring shots but could have been useful??


Strangers On The Shore, Wylfa


I think these show the line, situation and rock architecture pretty clearly....

...unlike this??


Baywatch, T'yn Tywyn Quarries



Pretty good colour contrast in these...


Singing In The Rain, T'yn Tywyn Quarries


Again there's a semi-limited selection for this bay which includes 2 photos of Microcosm, but none on these more accessible but still very good routes just right.
