Well, I was searching through my computer trying to find some striking imagery to liven up this page after all the heavy text that was the Dartmoor trip report and lo and behold look what I found! Some very striking photographs of the first ever new route (traditional for those of you who are wondering) I completed. It was at a massive, but largely untouched, natural limestone outcrop called Darren Fawr. It is three miles north of Merthyr Tydfil. Below is the route description I originally wrote in the Up and Under new route book and has subsequently migrated to the South Wales guidebook Wiki:
Joe's Triforce , Severe 10m
The central face at the very right hand end of the crag, about ten metres left of the last gully before the outcrop becomes too short to climb on. Climb the indistinct groove for 5 metres before stepping right by a tiny sapling. Continue upwards trending left on good jugs to finish.

(Joe's Triforce is on the left hand face, up the middle, right of the massive trees)
