<p>Javelin Blade is one such route, it sits high above the Idwal Slabs in the Ogwen Valley, an airy E1 climbed back in 1930 when VS was considered the cutting edge.

'Quite frankly, I'd lost my way. I'd come to the
famous thread belay at the end of the first pitch of
the normal route, and I didn't know that the route
ought to go right. I was a pole vaulter, which I think
gives you pretty strong fingers, and I remember the
pull-out onto the actual blade of the javelin was very
strenuous; though not dangerous - I had a belay
about 40 feet below me. [1]</p>
