Top pitch is excellent. Some like the first pitch and others think it's rubbish.
40m (-) From 2 metres right of chimney, go up clean, poorly protected but easy black slab.
20m (14) The undercut layback flake. Up to roof, protection in pockets on inside of flake, then into the layback.

Censorship
Good line but you'll have no chance if the huge block goes.
This is probably the variant finish to Day Of Rest recorded by Kieran Loughran in 1981.

The Joker
The arete left of Sidshow used to have a few BR/staple/U things, but they got chopped to prove some stupid point. The start is now quite bold but if the first bolt was put back in this could make a good approach to the second pitch of Dante's Inferno.

Climb 'Cut Short ' for a few metres until you can gain the hanging orange/grey wall to the left. Up this on delightful incuts, slopes, razors, and pockets to gain a series of beautiful pockets above an orange overlap. Make a span leftwards above the lip tp pick up a vertical seam through a bulge then stagger over this to join 'Tapestry ' at the end of its traverse. Finish up tapestry.
Start: Start as for 'Cut Short '
