Two small pieces of excellent quality rock with a great set of lower-grade routes. These were bolted by Rich Mayfield of the Orange House, who was frustrated at the lack of decent lower-grade routes in the area that weren't glossed to a high sheen - good effort! Guidebook page 224.

Sin chapa
Climb past the tree. Hard moves pass the steep wall near the top, which can be dirty.

Fantastic and sustained climbing until the steep bit where it becomes a jug-fest.

A tricky move by the third bolt, then sustained, don't be put off by the blunt arete - after a hard move it eases.

Be aware of the length. An exposed, but easy line up the arete on the right hand side of the crag.

Climb the wall to the ringing flake, where a tricky move gains jugs and easier ground to the finish.
