It looks extremely unlikely for this grade. It was originally protected by threads but now there is no gear visible for most of...

Vagal Inhibition
Good climbing up a crisp lower wall with a beefy layback around the bulge. A useful grade for this wall.

Sussudio

The Electric Cool-Aid Acid Test
One of the most technical routes on the Ormes. It follows the blank white scoop right of Quicksilver and is outrageously hard....

Superb climbing direct above the corner. A touch harder now that the situ wire has rotted away.

Sourdough
A variation on Pocket City which has been altered slightly by the next route. It is a shame that the line starting direct up...

Iron in My Soul
The obvious direct start to Sourdough leads to a fiddly finish on the left with poor footholds.

A good technical right-hand finish to Firefly.
