Ban y Gor - Nine Lives Sector
| The first section of crag, just beyond the access gully, gives perhaps the smallest section of crag. This can prove a useful area for easier grade routes. From here you can proceed onto bigger fair further along the Escarpment or indeed sample the delights of the Main Crag. |
1. Viva Ramirez E3 6a Slim right wall of corner with a difficult lower bulge. 2. Private Life E3 6a the shallow corner gives tricky but worthwhile climbing. 3.
