5.10c | Mohammed the Mad Monk of Moorside Home for Mental Misfits
A challenging micro-route. It is located on a small buttress well to the right of the main cliff. (Though, the historical descent path does pass underneath it.) The left side of the buttress is a short steep wall. It is distinguished by a large roof about 3m above the ground, which is split by a horizontal flake crack. Climb up to the crack and use it to get established on the upper face. Traverse accross the face to easy ground. FA: S Adcock & R Halka, 1984 | ||||

5.8 | ★★ Ron's Climb
Start 5m left of the chimney (Rocketman), underneath the long leftwards sloping overhang. Climb up to the overhang. Layback up to an obvious break through the overhang.

5.3 | ★ Original Route
To the right of Birdland is a large easy-angled wall, capped by a sloping overhang.
Variant: P2. (5.0) 35m Step right from belay then up and left through some bushes to the open rock at the top of Mont King, then trend up and leftwards towards the anchors at the top of "Rocketman". (This allows rappelling the fixed anchors of Rocketman for descent, rather than the walk-off. 3 rappels, first rap is about 31m on easy ground.) | 65m, 2 |
