Spread-eagle Pillar
Climb a small face (one bolt) to a platform on the right and then onto a little pillar to a small roof and straight across to anchors. Use the pillar only!! Exposed, run out and risky!! Not a nice route.

Do not chimney
Just to the right of SP . Do not climb into the crack and the idea is to not use chimney moves at all. If you do its probably a 12. Run out from last to anchors. When in doubt – chimney!

Born Free
Starts in a recess. The face on the left. Can be wet and slippery in rainy season. Harder if you only use the face and not the layback or chimney.

The taming of Smeagol
Climbs the face just right of SL and angles right. Do not use the big blocks in the middle of the face – unless you don’t like your be-layer. The blocks can make it much easier and maybe dangerous.

Brandwag
4m left of DOTW . Climb straight up to a small roof. Do not go right – the crux is to go straight across with a layback on your left hand.

Dancing on the Wall
The first route you find as you come down into the gorge. The 1st small brownish face you find. After the 3rd bolt traverse in direction of B. The 4th is very loose. Into same roof and anchors as Brandwag . Keep B’s bolts to your left. Some rope-drag as you start to traverse.
