Exhibitionist E5/6 6a, Llyn Ogwen
Exhibitionist topo
Calum Muskett has climbed a few new routes in the Daisy World area just above the Ogwen Cottage end of Llyn Ogwen.
The steep wall down and left of Daisy World was breached in the late 90s by Chris Wentworth. The resulting route, Cellophane Rain E4/5 saw a quick repeat from Neil Dyer, before dropping into obscurity.
Calum has given the whole wall a revamp, and in the process pulled off a hard lead.
Exhibitionist E5/6 6a
This takes a bold and strenuous line directly up the Cellophane Rain wall. From its lowest point a series of side pulls lead up to a ledge. Continue up again to join the original route, before blasting up the steep head wall above the peg on good holds.

Realist E2/3 6a
Climb the right arete of the main face. Start on the right hand side. Make a big pull up onto the obvious ledge and a sling runner. Climb up leftwards following the line of good holds with questionable gear before moving back left up the awesome, but easy upper arete.

Traditionalist HVS 5a
The blindingly obvious chimney and offwidth. Battle upwards (preferably not in shorts and t-shirt) to the top. (possibly done before)
