No Bark, No Dill
A chipped route which covers some impressive ground. 3 close bolts protect the crux but it is thin above. Recently added to the...

Barking Up the Wrong Tree
Another superb roof climb with a steep bulge providing the difficulties. A bit of a gap after the 3rd bolt.

No Arc, No Bark
Brilliant climbing with a hard technical start past the first bolt (a wire may be needed to get there). Above that it is open...

Good thin wall climbing past 3 bolts to the finish of Excursion (peg).

Call It Black
Thin and bold at the bottom then you get a bit of a breather on Excursion before the upper wall. Finish by a traverse right to...

Excursion
Probably the best E2 on the Ormes with a fine line, good protection and sustained climbing throughout.

The Arc of Eternity
Not much line but lots of exposure and good climbing. Traverse left from Excursion passing various bolts, until you reach the...

The Visionary
An eliminate line but still fairly direct. Either start up Excursion or slightly to the right. It takes in the crux of the next...

Clear White Light
Another good wall climb with a wandering line. Start up a flake then traverse left to a small corner. Leaving this is the crux.
 E3 6a
10
Clear White Light Direct
Avoiding the traversing of the original gives a hard and slightly bold alternative.
 E4 6a
11
Beaverbrook
A bold climb up the right-hand side of the wall starting up a small corner.
 E5 6a
12
The Cold War
A diddy little route over the roof with a technical start which was originally part of the direct start of Cruise Missile.
 7a
13
Belay Bunny Bounces Back
A good new addition which should become very popular. Low in the grade.
 6a
14
Insidious Practices
The faint corner/groove gives a good nut protected route.
 E2 5c
15
Two-Ton Caiman
A powerful start and a technical finish up the pillar left of the crack/corner.

Welcome to the Power Bulge
The same start as Two-Ton but an even more technical finish. See

The Deep Fix
The name says it all. Squirm up the big corner crack with large everything. There are few routes like this left on Pen Trwyn.

Vic 20
The delightful rib to the right of the crack, aiming for a large flake crack.

The Really Exciting Climb
Another rare crack climb at an even rarer grade. Well worth seeking out.

The Turquoise Tortoise
A left-hand finish to Space Invaders past 2 threads. Not very independent but some good moves.
 E3 6a
21
Space Invaders
Good climbing up the stepped corners. A bit thin on gear in the middle and a hard start.
 E2 5b
22
Astro Blaster
Up the black streaked groove. Awkward to protect at the bottom.
 E4 6a
23
Paradise
A good line to the left of the grooves. In need of regearing since the threads are gone and the bolt is old.
 E4 6a

The Bounty Hunters
A good climb up the little grooves with a testing blank section in the middle.
