One Hundred Years of Solitude

I've named my new route in homage to the novel of the same name by the famous Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and for my own beautiful Colombian Anyela. Thanks go to Doug for pointing out the line to me, and apologies for not following his trend of naming new routes at Craig yr Eglwys (English translation: Church Rock) after game shows. Given the small climbing community in mid-Wales, the remote nature of the crag at the head of Hengwm (Old Valley) and the amusing bog-trot required... not so funny when your wellies sink without trace... it is unlikely to become a well frequented crag. The last remaining hill farmer in Hengwmannedd (Dwelling of the Old Valley) was swept away in the flood of Afon Hengwm (River of the Old Valley) decades ago. The route name alludes to the feelings one has when climbing here. Come feel them for yourselves.
