Cocaine Place 8m. The left edge of the wall has a move or two of interest. | HVS 5a | |
2 |
Wilkinson's Wall 8m. Climb the wall leftwards, on small holds to reach the arete; then finish direct. Unprotected. 4 user comments | 1 Stars Crimpy Fluttery | VS 4b |

Of Mice and Men 8m. The blank centre of the slab has the crux at the top. Escapable. | Technical Fluttery | E5 6b |

Summertime 8m. Climb boldly through the bulge to gain the undercut left arete of the large slab. It eases once established. 1 user comment | Fluttery | E3 5c |
5 |
Small Time 8m. The centre of the slab is tough, though a side-runner on the right eases the strain a little. | Reachy Technical | E2 6b |

Renshaw's Remedy 10m. The fine angular corner left of the slab has a tricky start. 2 user comments | 2 Stars | HVD |

Regular Route 10m. The centre of the slab left of the big overhang of Roof Route was a late discovery. The final rib is the crux, keep left. 2 user comments | 1 Stars | HVS 5a |

Root Route 10m. An excellent sustained route up the groove to the right of the roof. Gaining the ledges early on is the crux for most. 2 user comments | 2 Stars Strong | S 4a |

Dynasty 8m. The cramped wall has fiddly wires under the roof that protect the hardest moves. | Technical | E4 6a |

April Fool 8m. The wall and overhang to the left of the arete are bold but not too technical - or are they? 2 user comments | 1 Stars Reachy Fluttery | E2 5b |

Steph 6m. The wall just right of the arete has good holds, mild but bold. 2 user comments | 1 Stars Reachy Fluttery | HVS 5a |
