Ascents in Ban-y-Gor

ok

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

tasty

Fun stuff. Clip the bolt out left on SMD then campus back out the big finger rail and double heel-hook and slap your way direct up the hanging prow

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.

Roped solo.

2nd try...confusing routefinding but great climbing once you know the way!

felt nails for 6b+...2nd try

shame the good climbing doesn't last long...

great route - 2nd try

nails for 6a+...or just standard ban-y-gor grading!

second try, given 6c in the guidebook which I think is fair. very thoughtful crux, rest is pretty chill

6a+ if you use the big ledge on the left after coming round the arete, v cool for the grade

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.

Tricky little climb makes you think, worth a go.

Warming up

Led it for a client.

I guessed which route it is as there are three routes that mention Glass Gully but Glass Gully is not registered.

The more I do it the more I like it.

The route should go more to the left to make it more interesting or to the right to make it easier... There in the middle it is a bit of a hesitation.

Not an easy one to onsight as it is not quite obvious. Sent it in second attempt. Awkward route.

It felt harder with the cold.

A poor route poorly bolted. Best to ignore except you like smearing, dynamic moves and a combination of both... In a 5+

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.

Amazing views at the top.

Climbed it once more... As good as usual and now with an extra bolt at the top, not sure what for.

Lead it again for some friends. Amazing route... 3 starts.

Awkward route, especially at the end.

Stupid try without knowing the route a lot over our level. You can find a mallion half the way up.

I did but starting in Amuse Bouche.

Went up to clean it.

Climbing on trainers as a warm up... No ideal as you have to smear. Shitty route.
