Razor Fish
Actually situated on the overhanging wall encountered as you walk to Backslapper Wall . Start below the overhanging western side of the inlet, move up to a Razor Fish-shaped RH hold, pull up left on good horizontal flake then up R onto VERY SHARP rock. If you slip here it will cut you very badly (just ask Tom Cree). on up to easy finish.

Top Traverse
An easier (but more serious if you fall) option for traversing around to the wall. Start level with the horizontals on High Enough's slab and continue through finishing at the top of Frogman.

Pink Taffetta With Puffy Sleeves
Only at low tide. Just inside the cave, locate the undercling, pull on using this up to a right hand 2 finger pocket, then up to finish at horizontal. Sharp barnacles make it serious if you slip.

Shark Bait
Worth doing for the surroundings. Swim into the cave and continue in until you see an arch, below this look for a niche between two rounded and barnacled outcrops on the left. Thrutch your way up, trying not to take off enough skin to arouse attention.

Irresistible Surge
The obvious diagonal line rising out of the water at the mouth of the cave. Begin right at the point where the line meets the water and continue traversing and progressing diagonally upwards with the line until you are able to move up shortly after the line finishes and up 'Frogman'.
Feet are difficult to find at times (underwater) and also following the line below the overhang.
Hard to grade, but it's hard, and even harder when a moderate swell is lifting you then pulling you back down.

The Frogman Cometh
The first route done here. Start in the water after the diagonal edges leading out right from the cave. Follow the slightly overhanging wall up on right handed pockets to some good holds.

High Diver
An extension route to The Frogman Cometh , this route continues up to the diving ledge at approximately 15m. A fall near the top would be quite serious as the route is not consistently overhung and has a sharp finish.

Backslapper
(grade 20 if you heel hook) Starts in the water and below the overhanging wall left of the obvious corner and crack at the RH end. Go straight up avoiding the arete. Careful! A slip at the top can hurt! (as Tom found out)

Aunties Wet Crack
A lot more fun than Avoiding. Start in the water, pull onto the wall, then use only the cracks, first laying back right then left, to progress to the top.

The water's edge
Start at the water's edge on the far right side of the wall, pull yourself out of the water and traverse left under the overhang to the bottom of backslapper, then follow backslapper route up to the cliff top. Wet hands make this a touch tricky.
