West of the access track
	21	★★★ Juggernaut	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic
Face holds spoil (or make possible the first half of this offwidth classic. A horrid not-body-crack finishes it... so why can't I wait to get on it again?!? Great lead by Colin.
	17	★ If	Trad 30m	★★ Very Good
A "character-building" start of interesting moves over questionable gear. Beautiful after that, although the gear is not always obvious. With Laurie.
	15	★ Pixel Princess (Pixelated Princess)	Trad 15m	Average
Thought-provoking in places. The top is easy but the big, loose blocks are unnerving. With Laurie.

Much less style than my first ascent. A bit awkward but a fun topout!

Superb climbing with great moves around the diagonal. :-D
	14	★ Psychedelic Apricot	Trad 15m	Don't Bother
