Fun stuff. A bit go-ey at the top.

The only thing that makes this interesting is that every hold might snap off.

How bizarre. Stand underneat and you SWEAR it's a slab, then wonder why you get so pumped, and figure out it actually overhangs. Cool climbing.

Fantastic crux sequence takes some finding. The real climbing might be over quicker than you want, but it packs a punch in those meters. My first 7b.

5a Day Break - with Russell Jackson Sport Ban-y-Gor

Easy start, awkward end. Definitively not a 4, not even 4+ more like a 5. WARNING the first bolt is very very high. All bolts are rusty and there is only one rusty abseil point (bolt with mallion).

I would recommend not to climb this route.

The route itself is not that bad so it would be great to rebolt it and to put a proper abseil station with two bolts with rings.
