Woven by six men and one woman on the sea cliffs of Holy Island, North Wales.
British climbers have discovered a new playground - the sea cliffs of Britain. This evening seven experts (three of them were involved with the televised climb of The Old Man of Hoy in 1967) will attempt three very severe routes on the sea cliffs of Anglesey:

Spider's Web: 'a unique and sensational route' with Joe Brown and Ian McNaught-Davis

Wen Slab: 350 feet of pure white rock rising straight out of the sea with Peter Crew and Don Whillans (who reached the summit of the Himalayan giant, Annapurna, earlier this year)

Tyrannosaurus Rex: the fiercest of the Dinosaurs-a 370-ft face with Laurie Holliwell who made the first ascent; his brother Les; and Janet Rogers who was also on the first ascent in June 1969.

Christopher Brasher reports live on: Stage 1: The Assault from the Sea
'If the sea is rough these confounded great waves are trying to pluck you off the rock. But if you get your footing on the cliff, you climb up this groove, round a corner, up a wall, until you get to 20 feet of holdless rock which Pete says I won't get up. If I do -then the only danger from the sea is falling off into it.' So says Ian McNaught-Davis who, this afternoon, will try to follow Joe Brown, the only man to have led this climb.
