Abbey Buttress

South East Wales

FEB 24 - Recent land slide across the buttress. Pig Iron 6C+ and the two routes to the right have been affected but mostly covered in alot of Mud. Worth helping the local area and taking a brush if you are there. 

Visible from M4 as you pass the Port Talbot steelworks. Exposed position can make it cold on windy days; sunny in the afternoon. Solid rock, a three-star (if small) crag, with routes up to 20m. A good spread among the limited grades on offer.
