7 | Wool socks and galoshes
This is probably what Noddy has written up as Marbles in Argus, but graded 11!. Start 4m left of Pure and Simple, just right of a flake sticking up out of the ground. Head straight up. Good gear and climbing the whole way. FA: Sarah Natali & Wendy Eden, 5 Dec 2016 | 25m | |||
12 | ★ Pure and Simple
Supposed to have a crack, but doesn't! 6m left of FOTR, 1m left of diagonal seam of Flying Foxes, behind a cherry ballart. Up wall, then vague juggy corner. Tricky down low. Was graded 8! FA: Bruce & Rod Sutherland, 1984 | 30m | |||
16 | Flying Foxes
Diagonal seam that doesn't quite reach the ground left of FOTR. Bouldery start, diagonal then wall right of the corner of Pure and Simple. FA: Keith Lockwood et al. | 30m | |||
22 | All Day Sucker
Up the slab, going R and L a bit. Start just L of FotR. FA: James Falla...with 5 on the blunt end!, 1985 | 20m | |||
13 | Fox on the Rocks
From the block step L and up frictional slab. Start 10m L of the detached pillar, under a large block which is 1m up a grey wall. FA: Kevin Lindorff & Mike Law, 1976 | 20m | |||
22 R | ★ Show Us Your Scabs
The slab, scary up high. Start just R of FotR. FA: James Falla & Dave Mudie, 1986 | 20m | |||
22 | ★ Bestiality
Small corner, past BR, to ledge, then continue. Start 2m R of SUYS. FA: Dave Mudie & James Falla, 1986 | 20m, 1 | |||
22 | Fun and Games
The weakness to the break, traverse L through roof and over. Start just L of JC, off the top of the detached pillar. FA: Kim Carrigan & Louise Shepherd, 1981 | 30m | |||
18 | ★ Johns Corner
Start off the top of the detached pillar. Climb the R-facing corner (or the much better steep jugs 3m R), then go R under lower roof. Over lip into short corner then ledge on L. Now traverse 8m L then up. FA: Mike Law, Peter Watson (DF by Lincoln Shepherd & Anthony Ryan), 1990 | 30m | |||
20 | ★ John's Corner Direct
From the corner of John's Corner, step left then head up wall past bolt. The best way to do the route. | 25m, 1 | |||
24 R | ★ Split Level
Up JC to it's top roof, then traverse R past old manky fixed gear, cams, and a runout, to join Cecilia. It's worse to second than to lead. Start as for JC. FA: Kim Carrigan, 1979 | 30m | |||
22 | ★ Wall of Horrors
Another traverse which needs a strong second. May have been somewhat sanitised by the later bolts of GftP and BE. A very noteworthy ascent for the era by a young Lindorff. Start as for JC.
FA: P1 Kevin Lindorff, 1976 FA: P2 Kevin Lindorff & Kim Carrigan, 1979 | 50m, 2 | |||
24 | ★★ Guide for the Perplexed

25 | ★ Buddhist Economics
Reachy start past 2 RBs over bulge, then trend R. Tackle the roof 2m L of C at a weakness. Start just L of C. FA: Parrish Robbins & Mike Fox, 1990 | 25m, 2 | |||
22 | ★★ Cecilia
Start off the detached pillar either by leaning across and climbing steeply up, or a committing, but significantly easier leap. Then follow the crackline up the leaning yellow wall, joining the R facing corner at the roof. 1 good FH, 3 manky carrot bolts (don't trust these). Bolted anchor at the top is back from the edge so if you want to lower off them you may trash your rope. It's also ok to step R to the GoB anchor and deal with a bit of sideways swinging. FA: Chris Baxter & Tim Hancock, 1970 FFA: Glenn Tempest, 1976 | 25m, 4 | |||
26 | ★ Clap Hands
Crank up the line past FH to pedestal then roof, then L into shallow groove. Start 1.5m R of C. FA: Kim Carrigan, 1982 | 15m, 1 | |||
24 | ★★ I-GoB-BA Link-Up
Really very good link up. Intransience's initial steep moves to a rest, then L and up as for Blind Ambition, to the chains. (There is an alternative L finish from the last big horizontal up an obvious flake between the described finish and Cecilia, however despite the climbing being easier, gear is non-existent). FA: Christian Seger & Adam Syriatowicz, 1997 | 27m, 1 | |||
23 | ★★★ Intransience
Committing traverse R gains ledge, then up R and up black wall. Start 10m R and down from Cecilia. Trad anchor on top. FA: Kim Carrigan & Kevin Lindorff, 1979 | 25m | |||
25 | ★★ Blind Ambition
Start on ground level 10m down R of I. Short crack past RB to ledge on I, and up I drifting R to jug on bulge. Now slightly L to join flake. L at break and then up past final RB as for GoB to rap chains. FA: Chris Shepherd & Geoff Little, 1982 | 30m | |||
25 | ★★ Girls on Bikes
Start 1.5m R of BA. Bulging white crack and steeply onwards until the angle eases, then traverse L to ledge on Intransience. Head L and up very faint groove over bulge into WoH. Now go diagonally L to (original:) finish up Cecilia or (better:) stay a few metres R of Cecilia past final RB, to rap chains. FA: Kim Carrigan, 1981 | 40m | |||
6 | Space Corp Directive 703472A
