The nettle-infested bowl is flanked on its left-hand side by some impressive bulging rock with routes giving sustained and powerful climbing. To the right of the main roofs the routes are less fierce and sometimes the rock is a bit dubious although on the routes described it is mostly solid. This is a good spot to head for in warm spells as it gets shade.
