4. 30m Wander straight up and to the left to belay on a large roof over a cave.

5. 18m Across the grass to the left and up the gully and left to a large tree belay. Scramble to top.

2. 18m Up crack to block, traverse around to the right-hand side of the block. Up the crack, onto the ledge on the nose. Then up crack in wall to top.

Start: At the far right-hand side of the buttress, east wall. The corner with blocks in it and a large tree at the base. Sickle-shaped crack up higher. Bob was simply going to call it The Sickle, a nice name. But he failed to do the sickle crack, side-stepping to the left. Hence this wonderful name. The sickle off-width awaits a first ascent !

1. 40m Up corner then traverse left under the roof into flake system, then right to ledge under off-width.

2. 40m Up off-width to a manky ledge, then up corner off-width to the start of sickle shaped crack.

3. 30m Traverse left then up crack to roof. Left around roof and up to small fig-tree and ledge.

4. 20m Right into cracks, then traverse right and up line to top.
