Blizzard Ridge Top 50 16m. The juggy lower wall leads left to the fine bold upper arete, superb and photogenic. The central section is bold putting... 12 user comments | 3 Stars Fluttery | HVS 5a |

The Tempest 14m. The centre of the face has a big rattling flake, a hand-placed peg runner and hard moves on rounded breaks. Markedly... 6 user comments | 2 Stars Reachy Rounded Fluttery | E5 6a |

Twin Hole 8m. From the ledge behind the gorse climb the sketchy slab on spaced holds (bold) to reach the thin crack. Up this more easily. | Fluttery | HVS 5a |

Acid Reign 6m. The short arete has a high crux though rightward escape is possible for the harrassed. 1 user comment | 1 Stars Technical Fluttery | V5 6b |
