Grade Route

Continue from the belay on the grass terrace

Climb loose rock left of the fin of rock at the left side of the crag.

From the ledge at the start of Barney Rubble, swing right round the arête to the obvious groove of South Wall. Move up and stretch left to the fin edge. Climb the right side to the top. An obvious, but disappointing route.

Gain the groove of South Wall as for Finnmark, but continue as for South Wall itself.

Might be worth a star if it was trundled at the start. Start at the right edge of the ledge running across the start of the wall proper. Make a leftward-rising traverse to reach the corner crack and follow this to a ledge. Finish through the small overlap above the groove.

Supersedes an earlier indirect route, Harrow (P.Kokelaar, G.Williams 1969). Climb the lower slabs just right of the start of South Wall, via a slanting crack line to gain the overhangs. Overcome these to gain the top.

This takes a line of slabs and grooves 2m right of South Wall.

Start as for Topless Admirers, then finish up the obvious grooves further right.

Start at the left end of the broken ledge running beneath the wall. Take the obvious leftward-rising overlap to gain a shallow hanging groove, TR. Finish directly on flakes up the leaning wall.

Start as for Sister Bliss, then follow an intermittent crack on honeycombed rock right of a grey flake. Proceed directly on flakes up the unlikely wall above to the top, avoiding premature escapes into the groove on the right.

Take the concave slab (sic) above the middle of the ledge beneath the wall. Follow a very slight, overhanging flake a little leftwards onto the slab. Go directly up from an undercut onto the easier angled slab, keeping just left of the groove on the right. Exit with care.
