Beyond the prow of The Rostrum is a wide green wall then further on, a well-cracked face which faces just a little more to the west. It is vaguely reminiscent of Yarncliffe's Zapple wall. Guidebook page 51.

2 |
Redeemer's Wall 20m. The wide crack has the odd loose block and leads to a tricky grassy exit - at least at the moment it does. | Graunchy Loose | HS 4b |
3 |
The Cuspidor 20m. Climb the flake left of the arete. | Graunchy Loose | VS 4b |
4 |
Tind 20m. Edge up the diagonal undercut crack to reach the blunt arete, then climb this more boldly to finish up a short crack. | HVS 5a | |
5 |

6 |
Ricochet Wall Top 50 20m. Classic. The cracks splitting the centre of the wall are reached up a shallow groove, with runners to the left. At its... 4 user comments | 3 Stars Pumpy | E1 5b |

Scot's Wall 20m. Not as fine as Ricochet but still worth doing. Climb the slanting cracks rightwards to the break, move right again to the... | 1 Stars Pumpy | E1 5c |
8 |
The Light 20m. The wide crack that bounds the right-hand side of the wall is awkward to get established in. | 1 Stars Graunchy | VS 4c |

Light Fantastic 16m. Climb the wall right of the wide crack centrally to the upper break. Move right then graze a way to the top. | HVS 5a | |
10 |
Ball Bearings 12m. Climb through the bulge at some spidery cracks, then head right up the slab above. | HVS 5a | |
11 |
Surprise 12m. The right-hand side of the rib leads to hard moves to enter the large scoop feature on the arete. Finish leftwards. | 1 Stars Technical Fluttery | E2 5c |
12 |
Barney Rubble 10m. The grubby and awkward corner, to a rightward exit below the 'hanging death'. | Graunchy Loose | VS 4c |
13 |
Stimrol 12m. The fine square-cut arete gives good climbing, with runners in the big break, before the bold final section. | 1 Stars Fluttery | E2 5b |
14 |
The Long Reach 12m. Follow the crack right of the arete to the ledge then the harder continuation above. The name is a giveaway. | Reachy Technical | E3 6b |
