	6c	★★ East of Sweden	Sport	Ban-y-Gor	★★ Very Good	Tim Nicholson	Fri 27th Jul 2007
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.

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

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

Best route in the white slab in my opinion

	5c	★ The Blessing	Sport	Ban-y-Gor		Fernando Hidalgo	Tue 14th Aug 2018
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.
	5+	Morning Winpenny	Sport 12m	Ban-y-Gor	★ Good	Christine Downing	Wed 1st Aug 2007
Thought I couldn't do it but then got the onsite.
	5+	Morning Winpenny	Sport 12m	Ban-y-Gor	Crap	Tim Nicholson	Fri 27th Jul 2007
The only thing that makes this interesting is that every hold might snap off.

	5+	Morning Wimpenny - with Russell Jackson	Sport 12m	Ban-y-Gor		Fernando Hidalgo	Wed 1st Jul 2015
Awkward route, especially at the end.

	5b	★★ Darkside - with Russell Jackson	Sport 14m	Ban-y-Gor		Fernando Hidalgo	Wed 1st Jul 2015
Lead it again for some friends. Amazing route... 3 starts.

	5a	Day Break - with Russell Jackson	Sport	Ban-y-Gor		Fernando Hidalgo	Wed 1st Jul 2015
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.

Good fun but the tree part is tough.

	6a	★ Tinaderm	Sport	Ban-y-Gor		Daniel Mateos	Sun 24th Jul 2022
Not sure if did the direct line 6b or a hibrid. The step up on the bad foot without going to the jugs on the right felt more than 6a.

	5+	Morning Winpenny	Sport 12m	Ban-y-Gor		Joel M	Sun 17th Jul 2022
	7b	★★★ Nelson Mandela	Sport	Ban-y-Gor	★★★ Classic	Gavin	Thu 4th Jul 2019
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.
	6c	★★ The Good Friday Agreement	Sport 13m	Ban-y-Gor		Joel M	Sun 10th Jul 2022
great route - 2nd try
	6c ~6c	★★ Duhkha	Sport 12m	Ban-y-Gor		Alex Walker	Wed 23rd Aug 2023
UKC states grade 6c
	6c ~6c	★★ Duhkha	Sport 12m	Ban-y-Gor	★★ Very Good	Joel M	Sun 14th Apr 2024
second try, given 6c in the guidebook which I think is fair. very thoughtful crux, rest is pretty chill

	6b+	★★ Sperm Whales	Sport	Ban-y-Gor	★★ Very Good	Gavin	Thu 4th Jul 2019
Tricky little climb makes you think, worth a go.
	6b+	★★★ Avidya	Sport 12m	Ban-y-Gor	★★★ Classic	Joel M	Sat 28th May 2022
felt nails for 6b+...2nd try
	6b+	★★★ Avidya — 3 attempts	Sport 12m	Ban-y-Gor	★★★ Classic	Daniel Mateos	Sun 24th Jul 2022
Really fits the description "tough cookie", what a sandbag... hardest 6b+ of my life. 1st 2 bolts are probably a V3+/V4 continuous boulder problem, took a while to unlock the sequence. All in all I'd say this is at least 6c. Really satisfied with the send.
	6b+	Discharge	Sport	Ban-y-Gor		Fernando Hidalgo	Tue 14th Aug 2018
Not an easy one to onsight as it is not quite obvious. Sent it in second attempt. Awkward route.
	6b	FA ★★ On the Nose	Sport	Ban-y-Gor	★★ Very Good	Tim Nicholson	Fri 27th Jul 2007
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
	6b	★ Lotus Wing 1	Sport	Ban-y-Gor	★ Good	Joel M	Sun 10th Jul 2022
2nd try...confusing routefinding but great climbing once you know the way!

	5c	The Chubby Brown Syndrome - with Eva, Russell Jackson	Sport	Ban-y-Gor		Fernando Hidalgo	Sun 24th Mar 2019
A poor route poorly bolted. Best to ignore except you like smearing, dynamic moves and a combination of both... In a 5+

The more I do it the more I like it.
	5b	★★ Darkside	Sport 14m	Ban-y-Gor		Fernando Hidalgo	Sun 18th Sep 2016
Led it for a client.
	5b	★★ Darkside	Sport 14m	Ban-y-Gor		Fernando Hidalgo	Sun 30th Jun 2013
Amazing views at the top.
	5b	★★ Darkside	Sport 14m	Ban-y-Gor		Fernando Hidalgo	Sat 8th Jul 2017
Climbed it once more... As good as usual and now with an extra bolt at the top, not sure what for.
	4a	Such A Big Cactus!	Sport 8m	Ban-y-Gor		Fernando Hidalgo	Fri 7th Jul 2017

It felt harder with the cold.
	5c	The Chubby Brown Syndrome	Sport	Ban-y-Gor		Fernando Hidalgo	Tue 14th Aug 2018
Climbing on trainers as a warm up... No ideal as you have to smear. Shitty route.

	5a	Amuse Bouche	Sport 7m	Ban-y-Gor		Fernando Hidalgo	Sun 30th Jun 2013
I guessed which route it is as there are three routes that mention Glass Gully but Glass Gully is not registered.
	4b	Double The Fun	Sport 16m	Ban-y-Gor		Fernando Hidalgo	Sun 30th Jun 2013
I did but starting in Amuse Bouche.
	7a+	★★ The Beauty Of It All	Sport	Ban-y-Gor		Fernando Hidalgo	Sun 21st Jul 2013
Stupid try without knowing the route a lot over our level. You can find a mallion half the way up.
	4	That Historic Reach - with Russell Jackson	Sport	Ban-y-Gor		Fernando Hidalgo	Wed 28th Feb 2024
Lovely route, always good fun.
