E3 5c is 5c TRAD leading, not sport leading.

(My best lead is E2 5b by the way, so I admit I'm coming from a slightly limited point of view )

Fantastic route, really good value for the grade. When Stef was here in March I took him up that and Spiral Stairs as an introduction to Welsh trad. Not a bad introduction if I say so myself

You also need a lot more ice and mixed experience and just log a bunch of mountain days. Your only chance is to move to Chamonix, Zermatt or another mainland climbing hub, find some job and go climbing every weekend for the whole season.
Finding partners isn't the hard part, sustaining motivation, income and staying injury free for a period of a few years is.
