| Route | Grade | Style | Selected ascents | |||||

★ Quadrella
Climbs the arete 10m left (south) of The Prow proper. Start up short and steep chimney before moving right to gain the arete and crack. | 15 | 18m | |||||
| 2 | ★ Crank | 20 | 18m | |||||
| 3 |
Quartet
Right side of clean face between Quadrella and The Prow. A bit contrived avoiding the easy corner system. | 17 | 18m | |||||

The next climbs are on the prominent orange buttress on the point about 100m north of the Light Fingered Maddison wall. There is only a single belay bolt on top of the prow buttress, bring a second rope to back this up. | ||||||||
