Welsh: 
Na, dwi’m yn meddwl bo dringo am ba mor dda wyt ti o gwbl.
Dwi’n meddwl un o’r pethau gwych am ddringo ydi…
…elli di fwynhau o os ti’n wych neu os ti’n wael.
Dwi’n meddwl bo Cymru’n le sy’n fyd-enwog o ran dringo.
Mae’r mynyddoedd a’r creigiau a’r clogwyni
jyst yn anferthol ac yn anhygoel.
Enw’r lle ’da ni’n dringo ydi Boiler Slab.
Dwi’n meddwl bo dringo yn sialens yn feddyliol yn sicr, ac yn ffisegol.
Mae’r ddau ’run mor bwysig a’i gilydd,
sy’n rhywbeth reit arbennig ac unigryw.
“Iddi” – dwi’n meddwl bod o’n golygu bo ti’n barod i wynebu’r her nesa.
Dwi’n meddwl bod o’n bwysig i mi wthio fy
hun achos mae’n golygu alla’i ddringo mwy…
…alla’i ddringo’n well ac alla’i wella fy hun.
Wrth gwrs bo ti’n ofn weithiau, wrth gwrs
bod ’na beryg yn rhan o ddringo…
…ond dwi’n cael mwy o fwynhad allan o reoli’r ofn yna a rheoli fy hun…
…a pheidio poeni gormod a pheidio panicio.

English: 
No, I don’t think that climbing’s about how good you are at all.
I think one of the best things about climbing is…
…that you can enjoy it if you’re great or awful.
IDDI: Free Solo Climbing
I think Wales is world-famous when it comes to climbing.
The mountains and rocks and cliffs are just enormous and awesome.
The name of the place we’re climbing is the Boiler Slab.
I think climbing is a mental challenge, definitely, as well as a physical one.
The two are just as important as each other, 
which is something special and unique.
“Iddi” – I think it means that you’re ready to face the next challenge.
I think it’s important for me to push myself because it means I can climb more…
I can become a better climber and improve myself.
Of course you’re scared sometimes and of course 
there’s an inherent danger to climbing…
but I get more enjoyment out of controlling that fear and controlling myself…
and not worrying too much and not panicking.  

English: 
When I started out, I was coming to these places…
…and looking at all the climbs and reading a book…
…and I found that there wasn’t a lot I could actually do. It was quite sad.
So I started training and going climbing three or four times a week…
…to try and become someone who could come to these 
places and complete the majority of climbs. 
The best moment is when you’ve been working 
on a project, a specific climb, for a while…
…and it just happens for the first time.
There’s no feeling quite like it.
Would I say it’s an obsession?
My mum would certainly say it is – and it is!
I think climbing solo is something very personal.
It’s something that’s important to me and close to my heart.
You don’t need a rope. You don’t need a harness; 
just climbing shoes, myself, chalk-bag. 
It means you have assurance and control.

Welsh: 
Pan o’n i’n cychwyn allan o’n i’n dod i’r llefydd ’ma…
ac o’n i’n edrych ar y dringfeydd i gyd a darllen llyfr…
…ac o’n i’n gweld bo ’na ddim llawer ohonyn nhw
o’n i’n gallu gwneud. Oedd o ychydig bach yn drist.
Felly nes i ddechrau hyfforddi a mynd i
ddringo tri neu bedwar gwaith yr wythnos…
…a trio troi fy hun mewn i rywyn sy’n gallu
dod yma a gwneud y mwyafrif o’r dringfeydd.
Y foment orau ydi pan ti di bod yn gweithio
ar brosiect, rhyw ddringfa benodol am amser…
…a mae jyst yn digwydd am y tro cyntaf.
Does dim teimlad tebyg.
Byswn i’n dweud bod o’n obsesiwn?
Sa Mam yn bendant yn dweud fod o – a mae o yn!
Dwi’n meddwl bod dringo solo yn rhywbeth personol iawn.
Mae’n rhywbeth sy’n bwysig iawn i fi ac yn agos i ’nghalon i.
Does dim angen rhaff, does dim angen
harnais; dim ond sgidiau, fi, chalk-bag.
Mae’n golygu bod gen ti sicrwydd a rheolaeth.

Welsh: 
’Swn i’m yn awgrymu i neb ddringo solo, dwi’n meddwl…
ond ’swn i ddim yn dweud wrtho nhw beidio. Byswn yn dweud wrtho nhw…
bo nhw angen ffeindio pwynt lle ma nhw’n hapus i’w wneud o…
a bod gynno nhw’r sicrwydd bod o’n mynd i fod yn saff.
Na, dwi’m yn meddwl bo hynny’n syniad da
o gwbl i beidio edrych i lawr achos…
ar ryw pwynt, ti’n mynd i edrych lawr,
a ti’m eisiau cachu dy hun pan wyt ti.
Dwi’n meddwl ma’r peth cynta ti’n teimlo ydi…
“diolch byth bo hwnna drosodd, diolch byth bo hwnna di mynd yn iawn.”
Ond, ma wastad, yn syth bin wedyn,
ti’n meddwl, “pryd alla’i wneud hwnna eto?”
“Lle ydw i’n mynd nesaf i neud hwnna eto?”

English: 
I wouldn’t recommend climbing solo to anyone, I think…
…but I wouldn’t tell them not to, either. I would tell them…
…that they need to find a point where they’re happy to do it…
…and they’ve got the certainty it’s going to be safe.
No, I don’t think it’s a good idea not to look down…
because, at some point, you’re going to look down 
and you don’t want to shit yourself when you do.
I think the first thing you feel is…
…“thank goodness that’s over, thank goodness that went alright.”
But immediately after, you’re thinking, “when can I do that again?”
“Where am I going next to do that again?”
