This short overhanging buttress, of compact smooth limestone, is the home of some very difficult routes. The easiest route here is 6c+, and even that one is a bit gnarly! There are some natural routes but most are heavily chipped and glued. This may create some good athletic exercises - but is it cricket? It is up to you to make your mind up. Guidebook page 180.
