Here are some modern photos of it.

Charles..... a for you..... your sure it was Whillans?????
I have a guide book for that place, "Rock Climbing in Wales" by Ron James. 1970.
FA. Brown, Belshaw 1952. HVS+
He calls it, "one of the best in Britain" .... "giving superb climbing in a perfect line up the centre of this fine cliff. A "must" for all aspiring hard men...."
I have a few climbs on my bucket list, this is one of em...
another is "Cemetery Gates" just to the right.... FA Brown, Williams 1951 HVS+
.... "This is one of the best hard routes in Wales" .....
Have you climbed that one????
I have always wished to go and experience Llanberis.... climbers like Brown, Williams, Edwards and others really laid the foundation of free climbing a long time ago. And I hear there is some pretty good pub action going down.
But crack or face it's all good.
Edit..... wow I just checked SP's wonderful search engine.... and unless I am wrong... Cenotaph Corner is not listed in Summitpost. Somebody need to fix that. ........
