UKC

17m. Classic ban-y-gor, hard to get off the ground, pumpy and awkward but a real classic. Start as for Always The Rain, but break out right after the first bolt, heading for the right arete of the headwall. Pull up onto the big ledge and then figure out how to leave it and join the arete before reaching easier ground and the shared lower off.

βeta: Only the top bit of the flake is wobbly (you can see the crack) I totally yarded off the bulk of it today and was solid for me.

βeta: Dodgy flakes under the ledge! There is a (kinda hard) sequence that avoids them, pulling hard on a side pull ~1m left of the bolt bellow the ledge.

βeta: DO NOT CLIMB IN CURRENT STATE Large layback flake (80cm x 50cm) loose just above second bolt/under first overhang could easily come off if pulled too hard.

βeta: Clip second bolt and pull up on the flake. Get feet far to the right and get your left hand around the really small break. Reach high and right for a huge hidden jug. Pull up on this to get up to the ledge.
