Ascents in Ban-y-Gor

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

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

UKC states grade 6c

UKC states grade 6b+

UKC states grade 6b+

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.

Best route in the white slab in my opinion

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.

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

great route - 2nd try

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...

Roped solo.

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.

The more I do it the more I like it.

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

It felt harder with the cold.

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

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

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.

Went up to clean it.

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