The first part of the cliff has a small collection of pleasant (though usually green) routes generally in the lower grades. Mort Wall is a good first HVS being short and safe. The imposing buttress that looks out over the collapsing bridge. Sentinel Crack is the one to do, if you feel you are up to it, most of the others here are mere diversions from the real thing.

1	Sidewinder 10m. The rounded arete of the buttress has its moments. 2 user comments	Rounded	HVS 5b
2	Mort Wall 10m. Climb the centre of the wall, with a tricky start via a niche. Low in the grade and with good gear throughout. 10 user comments	2 Stars	HVS 5a
3	Slip Arete 10m. The arete climbed by a series of balancy moves. Delicate, unprotected and more than a grade harder than Mort Wall. 1 user comment	2 Stars Rounded Fluttery	E1 5b
4	Strangler's Groove 10m. The angular corner-crack is pleasant enough. 5 user comments	1 Stars	S 4a
5	Strangler's Crack 10m. A thin finger crack and then the arete and short wall above. 1 user comment	1 Stars	VD

7	Dumper 10m. Traverse right from the groove to access the cracks in the centre of the side wall and haul up these to the crowning pine.	Strong	E1 5b
8	Jumpers 10m. The leaning prow is juggy, but the jugs are well-spaced and the landing is shocking. Finish up a crack on the right.	1 Stars Reachy	E3 6a
9	Where Next, Colombus? 10m. Starting up the cracks on the right misses out the leaping fun but not the arduous final crack.	Pumpy	E2 5c
10	Leaper 10m. The rounded and undercut arete of the main buttress is awkward to access and much easier above. 1 user comment	Rounded	VS 5b

12	Choked Chimney 10m. The main angle to a blocking boulder. Exit left.		VD

14	Sentinel Crack 16m. An awesome roof-crack is a desperate fight. Climb an awkward groove to a poor rest and then undercut wildly out left. The... 5 user comments	3 Stars Strong Pumpy	E3 5c
15	Sentinel Buttress 14m. Bold feeling but still a bit of a cop out! At the roof scuttle right and escape around the arete to a belay in the gully.	1 Stars Pumpy Fluttery	E3 5c
16	Sentinel Groove 8m. The elegant and obviously desperate blank groove.	1 Stars Technical Rounded	E6 6c
17	No One Here Gets Out Alive 14m. Climb the blunt arete in its entirety - without side-runners.		E6 6c
18	Cave Climb 14m. The wide crack with chockstones is a bit of a battle to a tight, spider-ridden, subterranean exit. 5 user comments		D
19	Cave Crack 14m. The awkward slanting crack and its easier continuation. 1 user comment	1 Stars	S 4a
20	Pretty Vacent 8m. The centre of the slab is pleasantly bold when clean.	Rounded Fluttery	E1 5a

24	Tree Crack 8m. The wide and treeless crack to a heathery exit. 1 user comment		VD
25	Cadenza 10m. Climb the rounded arete by unprotected friction moves until it is possible/necessary to escape out right.	Rounded Fluttery	E3 5c
26	High Step 10m. The centre of the slabby wall features the eponymous move, then move left and back right to finish. 1 user comment	1 Stars Fluttery	E1 5a
27	Price 8m. Climb the blunt arete on the right-hand side of the wall to a niche then the wall above on big slopers. 2 user comments	Rounded	HVS 5a
