VS Raven rock Gully Left hand Trad

4
VS 4c Swinger Trad 20m

The steep and neglected crack in the right wall of the gully leads to the upper section of Via Dolorosa.

5
E5 6a Sidewinder Trad 24m

A devious oddity that grapples with the left-hand edge of the great roof. From the base of the crack of Swinger, ape right and climb a groove to a possible stance under the giant overhang. A flake on the left leads past the lip then stretch right, passing a flake, to climb the arete.

6
VS 4c ★★ Via Dolorosa Trad 33m
7
S 4a ★★ Via Dolorosa Variations Trad 2

Starts on the higher ledge to the right and finishes up the dark and slippery Raven Rock Gully. Best split into 2 pitches otherwise rope drag may be a problem.

1 HVS 5a 15m
2 5b 8m

FA: Joe Brown & Don Whillans, 1951

HVS 5b Matinee Alternative Finish Trad

Below the bulge at the top of Matinee follow the break out right on jams and thin feet to finish up the offwidth

10
E4 6a Manatee Trad 14m

From the large chockstone in Matinee, venture out left and up to a hidden jug, then finish more easily up the wing shaped flutes to the top.

11
HVS 5b ★★ Valkyrie Direct Trad 28m

A long and elegant pitch up the steep jamming cracks in the arete. Climb the crack and the bulges to a rest at the base of the flake on the regular climb. Finish as for the normal route, or via the tricky bulging short-cut crack just right of the arete.

12
VS 4c ★★★ Valkyrie Trad 2
13
VS 4c ★★★ Valkyrie Trad 38m, 2
1 VS 4b 15m

HS 4b Valkyrie Corner Trad

Follow the initial corner of Valkyrie right to the top.

15
HS 4c ★ Valkyrie Corner Flake Variant Trad

Start 1m right of Valkyrie Corner, climb direct and trend right up the large flake rather than staying left in the corner. Finish route as normal.

16
E6 6c ★★ Northern Comfort Trad 14m

From the tip of the Valkyrie flake, climb the wall past some useful flakes to a finish up the left arete. Wild and very reachy.

17
E5 6b ★★★ Licence to Kill Trad 22m

From the top of the flake on Licence to Run continue straight up to the hanging crack above past seeming blankness.

FA: Gary Cooper, 2000

18
E4 6a ★ Licence to Run Trad 12m

The right-trending flakes in the wall above the Valkyrie stance are pumpy though good gear is available if you can stop!

E4 6a ★ Licence to Lust Trad 12m

A counter-diagonal across the wall, utilising the same holds and runners in the central section at License to Run.
