Description Suggest change

On the right side of Cemetery Vault(5.7 OG rating/5.8- MP rating), climb the arete formed by the ramp-like corner, staying mostly on the overhanging right side, to finish up the face just to the right of the final crack on the regular route.  This route was named after the famous route in Wales, UK. Cemetery Vault has a similar moniker to the other climb in Wales, Cemetery Gates. 

Note: This is found in the 1990s version of "Hooked on Ragged." The author of the book has given it a 5.9 rating(possibly harder by today's standards). Not much else is given other than it can go on clean gear without the use of hooks, though no gear beta is given. The assumption is a standard rack with smaller to medium cams might be necessary. The anchor situation at the top is most likely similar to other climbs in the area and it would be best advised to "get creative."  Climbers should use some caution and inspect the climb before attempting it. If anyone has any other useful beta please feel free to add it to make sure this climb has a more accurate description. -Sock
