Chris Richards, Brant Direct - HVS 5a, Central Buttress, Clogwyn y Grochan, Llanberis, North Wales
August 1969
My dad used to climb in Llanberis, and a year before I was born, he climbed a route called "Brant Direct", and told his fiancé (my mum) that if they had a son, he'd like to call him brant.
And they did. And as a name, it's been a blessing and a curse, but I wouldn't be called anything else.
Just landed today are the final part in our DBAD Keystrap, a climbing grade carabiner, made by DMM in Llanberis, North Wales. Just down the road from Brant Direct.
