Eduardo and I obviously have different perspectives on the Morfydd area.
To me it's not straightforward to move around the top to get to an abseil point some distance away. I really don't want people trundling around on sloping ledges with loose rock sending stuff down on me.
Then there's the base of the wall, it's steep and already eroded. A single abseil point would mean that every time a party does a climb and descends they will be moving from the base of the abseil back to the start of their previous climb. That's a lot of extra traffic and the base of the abseil and the hillside nearby is going to get hammered.
Obviously Eduardo sees it differently and that's just how it goes. We're both right according to how we see it.
