The wall left of Remergence Buttress is split by three slanting cracks. On the far left the thinnest crack of The Grogan is a classic finger shredder, whereas the wide fissure of Pulcherrime gives good jamming. Not much of interest to boulderers but a reasonable venue for soloists. Up the slope to the left from The Grogan, is a short wall split centrally by a wide crack, it is home to four interesting micro-routes plus bouldering variations. Guidebook page 200.

The Busker 6m. The steep slab on the right gets a bit close to the crack for real purity of line though it has some good moves. 3 user comments | VS 4c | |

Bracken Crack 6m. The central crack is more awkward than it looks and is a bit wide to protect easily. Harder for the short. 5 user comments | 1 Stars | HVD 4a |

Green Slab 6m. A juggy wall has an awkward move early on up a leaning groove and is easier above. Slab - somehow I don't think so! 10 user comments | Strong | VS 5a |

The Grogan 8m. The thin crack is protectable but a surprising struggle; fat fingers do not help at all. A proper gritstone HVS! 9 user comments | 1 Stars Crimpy | HVS 5c |

Groat 8m. The thin wall just right of the crack sees little attention. | Reachy Technical Crimpy | E1 6b |

Wollock 8m. Trend right up the wall then finish direct. A bit reachy in its central section, to a high crux. Escaping right is only... 11 user comments | 1 Stars Reachy | HVS 4c |
