This wall probably contains the best quality rock in the Dale; clean and compact with only a few loose patches. It has sport routes from 6c to 8b and a few excellent trad challenges, less seepage than other buttresses and is shady until late afternoon in summer. Guidebook page 166.

Systems Malfunction The roof on the left side of the wall is a hard problem. It is easy to reach but turning the lip proves to be extremely taxing... 1 user comment | 2 Stars Strong | 7b |

Titter ye Not A desperate roof problem which is slow to dry. Climb the open scoop (of Offal) and turn the lip by a variety of poor holds,... | 1 Stars Technical Strong | 8a |

Waffle A desperate direct line through Offal. The crux roof (above a hands-off rest) requires some nasty moves. 1 user comment | Technical Crimpy | 7b+ |

Malnutrition A good trad route with two contrasting sections. Start up the left-hand of two red grooves (the right-hand one is a 6b direct... | 1 Stars Technical Fluttery | E4 6a |

Split Infinitive The best line of the various grooves and corners on this bit of wall is spoilt by having some hideously difficult climbing and... | Technical Pumpy Crimpy | E5 6c |

Stogumber Club Fingery and technical. Once at the break, traverse right to Entrée and continue up this to the lower-off. | 1 Stars Technical Crimpy | 7c |

Entrée A superb little boulder problem with some very fingery moves. Passing the first two bolts provides the meat of the route. Lower... 1 user comment | 2 Stars Technical Strong Crimpy | 8a |

Kali Yuga An immaculate hard route on perfect rock. It is now finished direct with the addition of a new belay. 1 user comment | 3 Stars Technical Crimpy | 8b |

Countdown Top 50 A great climb on perfect rock which is one of the best sport routes in the Dale. The move off a pocket, above the bulge, proves... 12 user comments | 3 Stars Reachy Pumpy | 7a+ |

Darl - Pitch 1 A classic route from the '70s which gives a great companion to Countdown. The bouldery wall leads to a hanging groove where a... 4 user comments | 3 Stars Technical Fluttery | 7a |

Why Me? Extremely powerful climbing up the wall right of Darl with a thuggish crux. The initial wall is hard enough but at the bulge it... 10 user comments | 2 Stars Technical Strong | 7c |

Orange Sunshine A milestone which is an 'old style' sport route with regard to the bolting. The tricky lower wall leads to a poor undercut... 2 user comments | 2 Stars Technical Pumpy | 7c+ |

Boring A poor route which avoids the main difficulties by slinking into the base of Ninth Life. | Technical | 7c |

Ninth Life The slanting groove is one of the few really hard trad routes on Peak Limestone. Rarely climbed, it remains an important tick... 1 user comment | 2 Stars Pumpy Fluttery | E7 6c |

Daylight Robbery It looks unlikely at the grade but once you get on it the climbing is good and the moves are surprisingly independent. Start by... 2 user comments | 2 Stars Reachy Pumpy | 7b |

Ra Less good than the line would suggest. Gain the hanging groove and layback up it to easy ground and the trees above. | Strong | E4 6a |

The Cruise Brothers A strenuous, sustained sequence of laybacks with some very demanding clips. 2 user comments | 1 Stars Strong | 7a+ |
