The Thin End 10m. The arete is climbed on its left-hand side to a steep finish over the capping blocks. Easier than first appearances... | 1 Stars | HVS 5a |

Fat Chance 10m. The right-hand side is altogether more taxing. Tricky 'barn-door' laybacking reaches a good ledge. Finish over the blocks... 2 user comments | 1 Stars Fluttery | E3 5c |

Wedgewood 12m. Start just right of the green streak and climb the wall to reach the left-trending ramp-line. Move out right to the cracks... | 2 Stars Pumpy | HVS 5a |

Taper 12m. Climb the groove then access the ramp on the left. Balance across this, crossing Wedgewood, to reach the blocky cracks... | 1 Stars | HS 4b |

The Heel 10m. From the recess on the right, climb steeply leftwards to reach the base of a crack. Bridge up this pleasantly. Nice... 3 user comments | 1 Stars | S 4c |

Bunkered 8m. Make steep and technical moves into a hanging groove then move left and finish up the rib. | 1 Stars Technical | E2 6a |
