Presumably modesty prohibits Ding Dong from recommending The Gimp @ The Caseg Boulder; and it is less frustrating than Main Vein (should you happen to have short legs). Reverse the last sentence should you be lanky.

Yeah don't just do the Pinch. Do all the up problems and the link ups you can manage on the main wall. Maybe use the other little two boulders to warm up on, or better still start at Caseg Fraith. Once you've ticked Caseg Fraith (presumably excepting Repeat After Me) you should be warmed up and ready for Sheep pen. Plus you'll have done better quality low grade stuff than exists at Sheep pen.
Finish the day by going to Braichmelyn and doing the arete from sitter, it's class. A good three venue day that.
