Any suggestions for routes? Hvs-E2 (lowE3) area

Finding that I really enjoy these style routes but there isn't an applicable ticklish!

Current list that have been done is
Seems the same
gnat attack
Massambula
Mental lentils/monster kitten
Biggles flies undone
Pull my daisy


Thanks!

Last Tango in Paris

Comes the dervish (easy E3 5C)

Combat Rock, Twll Mawr

Seems the same is great climbing, as is looning the tube.

In reply to BAdhoc:

Goose Creature. E1 5a with a two move 6b+ sport route in the middle.

In reply to BAdhoc:

Is it a crime?
Never as good as the first time.
Psychotherapy

In reply to Coel Hellier:

Off the beaten track
The direct e2 start to looning the tube (can't remember the name)

In reply to BAdhoc:

Dervish, after the polished slippy start it's steady away
Iconic!

In reply to Alex Riley:

Bisse mon something I think, a good little variation on the standard version

In reply to jezb1:

I thought the start to Last tango was slippier than the dervish!

In reply to jezb1:

BMC = kiss my arse

In reply to higherclimbingwales:


Thanks, done psychotherapy (fell off twice popping for the traverse tho)

Comes the dervish is high on the priority list!

In reply to Alex Riley:

Thanks for the routes!

Looking forward to my next trip over

Not sure if you're also interested in slate sport? Plenty of slabs in these ticklists...

I'm pretty new to slate myself, have done a couple from your list (Gnat Attack & Monster Kitten).

I did German School Girl on my last trip which is excellent if you enjoy corners. Takes as much gear as you can carry as well.

Also enjoyed Fools Gold & Looning the tube which both felt steady for the grade.

How did you find Pull my Daisy? It's been recommended to me but heard it's quite bold?

In reply to charley:

It's only bold at the top, which is really easy and you'd be hard pressed to fall off. The hard bits are low down and very well protected.

In reply to charley:


Yep, a hugely loooong and hugely memorable run-out, but much easier than the lower section and on decent holds all the way, so if you got up the lower section there's no reason for you to fall off it! Totally brilliant route.

In reply to climbing pixie, Coel Hellier:
Thanks, good to know. Will hopefully go and have a closer look at it on my next trip there

In reply to BAdhoc:

I quite enjoyed "slippery people" just up from the seamstress slab, designer danger 2 bolt E2, haven't done much on slate though so am watching this thread!

In reply to BAdhoc:

Bella Lugosi is dead. Brilliant E1.
