14 Salamander Trad 120m Very Good
Nice little afternoon meander

 
15 Smeagol Trad 110m
Seems a litttle contrived here and there. If it was the only route in the area it'd be popular and clean! The rock is good.

Not as much gear as I remembered. Great climbing on great rock. It's a shame there isn't a belay stance lower down on the second pitch. It'd make three more equal pitches in length and grade.
