The furthest buttress is home to one of the most infamous routes on grit - Ray’s Roof - a legendary ascent in the 70s by American Ray Jardine and then only a handful of repeats in the next 25 years despite many attempts. Apart from this there is little to excite on the roped climbing front, but there is a superb little wall for boulderers. Guidebook page 107.

Minipin Crack 6m. The kinked fissure gives a couple of awkward moves. | VD | |

All-star's Wall 6m. The right-hand side of the wall utilises a useful pocket and a horizontal break though it is all over far too soon. | 1 Stars | HVS 5a |

Ray's Roof 8m. The widening hanging fissure is the hardest of its sort in the Peak. Getting a foot jammed near the lip is just the start... | 3 Stars Technical | E7 6c |

Johnny's Indirect Rear Entry 6m. The technical three dimensional 'slug-trail' on the wall. 1 user comment | Technical | E5 6b |

Ganderhole Crack 4m. The crack starting behind a block. | S 4a | |

Fielder's Indirect Spiral round the rib from left to right, then climb the slab. | V1 5b | |

Fielder's Corner Accessing the beckoning hanging groove requires the strenuous use of a mono - all very ungritstone-like. 2 user comments | 1 Stars Crimpy Fluttery | V5 6b |

Fielder's Wall On the face to the right there is just the one sloping pocket - somehow use it to climb the wall. 2 user comments | 1 Stars Strong Fluttery | V9 6c |

Clever Skin The tiny arete provides this skin-trashing gem. | 2 Stars Crimpy | V7 6b |
