Routes as sport in Ban-y-Gor

A very good link up which starts at Nelson Mandela, then crosses East of Sweden to finish up Blabba Mouth taking the cruxes of each route one after the other. Start up Nelson Mandela and climb the lower half to the break. Make a move up to the big shared hold of East of Sweden. Then begin the tricky move up the steep shallow groove to good holds just above the bolt. Now step right to gain a big spike side pull on Blabba Mouth and continue up this passing some perplexing moves on small sloping edges.

Additional info: Clip first 3 on Nelson. Clip one on East of Sweden then use bolts on Blabba Mouth to lower off - it's not too hard to work out. I hope.

Start by a fallen yew tree close to Glass Gully. Climb straight up to an undercut ledge and make an acrobatic move to stand on it. Taking great care with the friable hand holds, continue to an abseil station just above.

The short slab which shares an abseil station with Amuse Bouche

The rising diagonal line on the slab just right of Glass Gully.

Described in the CC 'Wye Valley Supplement 2012'. Continuation of Amuse Bouche on Mandela Buttress.

Immediately left of Amuse Bouche is a narrow gulley. Ascend the left side of it's slim right rib to the terrace; then climb the left side of the headwall above, with the crux at the top. Abseil station.

The bolted line right of the two pegs in a thin seam. Surmount a block overhang and then take a curving line left to the lower-off

Better than you'd think. Some shapely climbing gains the top on the huge flake from where more delicate moves lead circuitously up leftwards.

A tough cookie with both the start and finish being equally challenging. Head up to below a prow and move left under it to reach and then stand on a small ledge under the upper roof. Tackle the unlikely-looking roof and then the easier wall. Direct Start, 6c+ - The direct line to the small ledge

6b+ if gone direct starting under the roof. Most will do the 8b variation, which is better, starting from the right

Start two metres left of a broken corner, pull up into slight cracks. Then move leftwards along lip of the roof to the sharp arete of the buttress. Snatch and balance up right-hand side of the arete to an abseil station

An awkward grovel of a start (shared with "Lounge Lizard Leisure Suit") to some amenable bridging up the corner then a balancey traverse right to the arete. The clip over the roof may be problematic. Lower off the same anchor as "Latest Craze" to the right. 5 bolts + lower-off.

Desperately awkward start to enter a sharp groove, then a romp.

Direct start and finish to Lounge Lizard...

Start at a bolt belay on the traversing ledge. Climb up to the crawl and clip a bolt above in a shallow right-facing corner. Layback up to a break then climb diagonally up rightwards through the overlaps to reach a two-finger pocket in an otherwise blank wall below a break. Stuff in two fingers and crank for the break.Step left and climb up to good holds, then follow a thin crack to reach finishing jugs.

Front face of buttress with desperate and height-dependant finale. Starts 3m to the right of the double bolt belay of "Too hot to touch". Pull through the starting roof, and climb to the thin break benath an overlap. Continue up to the next wide break, and navigate the final face to the pig tail lower off.

Climbs the left arete of Crawl Buttress. Pull over the initial roof on a good hidden hold then move up and right to a stretch over the next roof to a good hold. A powerful pull brings a small crimp into reach, then the break. Traverse left around the arete and a couple of layaways lead to jugs and the belay

Start just left of the left arete of the crawl wall. Climb the groove to a big pinch flake, then make a hard pull rightwards onto the wall to gain good holds, then the break. The groove in the upper wall is reachy
