22/23 | ★ Lord Of The Flies
Lord Of The Flies 12m 23** Start behind the fence left of a thin tree at the right end of the chossy wall between Left Slab and Left Wall.

20 | ★ Raging Torrent
The first bolt is desperate to clip and at an ankle snapping height. The route has been reported as a grade 18 in the CAWA guide. This climb is not an 18, and possibly even harder than 20. Be cautious - it is a great route to top-rope. | 18m, 5 | |||
19 | Victim of authority
Victim Of Authority 18m 19* The line right of ‘Raging Torent’ in the centre of Main Wall which trends right at the third bolt. A nice route finding mission with a few committing moves (5RB to DBB).

Amazing problem starting on large rail and work your way up the dong FA: Claire Girdlestone | 4m | |||
V1 | Gutter Slut

squat start on low left leaning crack, then follow obvious line up and right to top. (dunno if this has previously been climbed? let me know if so ) FA: Lance Gelden | ||||

V12/13 | ★★★ Finding Max | 5m | |||
V11/12 | ★★ Finding Link-Ups

V11/12 | ★★★ Drop it Like it's Hot
Classic lowball. Sit start with good slot right down low as for 'Heuco at Home'. Climb up, and trend left (avoid good jugs of 'Heuco at Home'). Establish on small right-hand crimp, followed by a big drop knee move to reach the far-away left hand crimp. Hold the tension and try top out! FA: Andy Lampard | 4m | |||
V4/5 | ★★ Heuco at Home
Sit start low on the slot down low (as low as you can go), climb up through crimps to Hueco flake and top out on The Bear. Eliminating the flake will get you a V7 FA: Kim Van Amerongen | 5m | |||
V9 | ★★★ The Sweetest Contrivances
A contrived eliminate with one of the sweetest sequences ever. Really awesome if done with the mindset of climbing the eliminate. Sit start left hand on the far left edge, right hand in the horizontal slot near the massive starting rail of The Bear. Trend left using the smaller side-pulls and powerful right heel hooks on the jugs of The Bear /Variant. Flows like sick. FA: Andy Lampard | 5m | |||
V12/13 | ★★★ Sweet Hot Contrivances
Start as 'The Sweetest Contrivances' then traverse left through the overhang to link into 'Drop It Like It's Hot'. Pumpy and hard. https://youtu.be/pwsiUx_U2mg?t=126 FA: Tom O'Halloran, 5 Jun 2022 | 7m | |||

Start at left scoop, move up through a series of scoops and top out at the peak of the boulder. | 5m | |||

V10 | ★ Pebbles Low
Start low on slopey holds. Up into slopey fins in the roof and out as for 'Pebbles Variant'. Tensiony transitioning into 'Pebbles Variant' and blasting to the jugs. V10/11? FA: Michael Taran, Dec 2022 | ||||
V8/9 | ★ Roof
Start on slopey pinches with feet low, then bust out to the lip while holding the banana-hammock. Starting with feet high earns you Pebbles Variant. FA: Andy Lampard | 2m | |||
Roof Low Project
Start low on the slopers; shoulder up to Roof and finish as for Roof. Hard...but not that inspiring to look at. Set: Andy Lampard |
