10 minsThe left-hand end of the main section of the cliff is a steep bay bounded on the right by some low-angled slabs. The routes here are well-sheltered, even staying dry in the rain, and are generally hard and fingery. The twin chimneys to the right are safe graunches whereas the slab to the right again is more open and airy. Guidebook page 60.
