Can someone give me the Lat/Long of this crag please? Also, are there any photos? --Tim Hoddy (talk) 20:16, 27 April 2015 (BST)

Llwynypia

Protection retro-bolts removed (2015) from retrobolted trad routes Alibi and The Brawl (bolted ab’ stations left in).

The descriptions in the SWMC guide are useless; here are the originals:

Alibi 12m E3 5c (8.4.89)
Fine technical climbing on good rock, but bold. Start in the centre of the wall. Follow widely spaced holds to a jug at the base of a crack – first gear. Climb the crack awkwardly to a mantel exit.

The Brawl 12m E3 6a (8.4.89)
An excellent and problematic finish up the right arête of the wall. Take a thin crack onto the arête, whereupon long moves lead to the top (thin tape for rock-spike essential).
