Grade Route

Start two metres left of a broken corner, pull up into slight cracks. Then move leftwards along lip of the roof to the sharp arete of the buttress. Snatch and balance up right-hand side of the arete to an abseil station

An awkward grovel of a start (shared with "Lounge Lizard Leisure Suit") to some amenable bridging up the corner then a balancey traverse right to the arete. The clip over the roof may be problematic. Lower off the same anchor as "Latest Craze" to the right. 5 bolts + lower-off.

Desperately awkward start to enter a sharp groove, then a romp.

Direct start and finish to Lounge Lizard...

Start at a bolt belay on the traversing ledge. Climb up to the crawl and clip a bolt above in a shallow right-facing corner. Layback up to a break then climb diagonally up rightwards through the overlaps to reach a two-finger pocket in an otherwise blank wall below a break. Stuff in two fingers and crank for the break.Step left and climb up to good holds, then follow a thin crack to reach finishing jugs.

Front face of buttress with desperate and height-dependant finale. Starts 3m to the right of the double bolt belay of "Too hot to touch". Pull through the starting roof, and climb to the thin break benath an overlap. Continue up to the next wide break, and navigate the final face to the pig tail lower off.

Climbs the left arete of Crawl Buttress. Pull over the initial roof on a good hidden hold then move up and right to a stretch over the next roof to a good hold. A powerful pull brings a small crimp into reach, then the break. Traverse left around the arete and a couple of layaways lead to jugs and the belay

Start just left of the left arete of the crawl wall. Climb the groove to a big pinch flake, then make a hard pull rightwards onto the wall to gain good holds, then the break. The groove in the upper wall is reachy
