16 Lost Baggage

Back and down from the 'Rattling Knackers Rock' a chossy slab runs downhill on the left of a wall (see map) on which this and following climbs can be found.

Forgettable. Start right of 'Quicksilver'. Up the mossy crack to a break, then up to the top. Rap off the branch.

FA: Phil Georgeff & Dee Breger, 1988

Trad 8m
17 Bran Buds

Rough on the hands. The 'Crackle' crack, but on the other side of the boulder.

FA: Norm Booth, John Smart & Ray Lassman, 1978

Trad 10m
19 The Tin Drum

Start on the pinnacle about five metres right of 'Bran Buds', through the passageway. Up the slabby wall past a bolt to a bolt belay.

FA: Mike Peck, Ken Luck & Adam Blizzard, 1988

Mixed trad 8m, 1
20 Quicksilver

The little line on the right of the descent slab. Very short and overhanging.

FA: John Smart & Norm Booth, 1978

Trad 5m
22 Julius Caesar

Starting just below the chossy approach slab is an overhanging crack. A superb climb with great hand jams, fingerlocks, laybacks, fist jams and a spot of off-widthing. Rap off the back.

FA: John Smart, Norm Booth, Ray Lassman & Humzoo, 1978

Trad 20m
18 Walking Dead

The same crack as 'Concrete Coffin' on the other side of the boulder, now off-width.

FA: Ian 'Humzoo' Thomas, 1978

Trad 20m
13 Concrete Coffin

The chimney on the left through the gap between the walls. Aptly named and possibly the worst sandbag in the guide.

FA: Ray Lassman, Humzoo & Norm Booth, 1978

Trad 20m
18 Sugar Frosty

Start just to your right as you exit the gap at the bottom of the chossy approach slab (six metres right of 'Crackle') next to a dilapidated eagle's nest. Easily up the chimney to a ledge and then up the crack to join 'Snap, 'Crackle' and 'Pop'.

FA: John Smart, Rohan Reynolds, Hugh Ward, Norm Booth & Ray Lassman, 1978

Trad 10m
18 Pop

Deceptive and technical, but it joins 'Crackle'. The right line.

FA: Ray Lassman, Norm Booth & John Smart, 1978

Trad 10m
9 Crackle

The first and worst climb done at 'The Cloisters'. Up the middle crack.

FA: John Smart, Norm Booth & Ray Lassman, 1978

Trad 10m
11 Snap

Pleasant easy climbing. The left crack on the buttress.

FA: Norm Booth, Ray Lassman & John Smart, 1978

Trad 10m
22 The Swinging Detective

A curious helical climb on the 'Tin Drum' pinnacle, west of the 'Cereals Buttress'. Start in a gully right and downhill from 'Bran Buds'. Climb the arete past a bolt to a crack. Swing left into this and up to another bolt. Move right onto the slab and up to the top and a weird ring bolt belay.

FA: Mike Peck, 1988

24 Slide Show

On the 'Gazelle Boy' boulder. The very thin crack system on the slabby wall of the gully left of 'Kodachrome 25'. Double bolt belay.

FA: Dave McGregor & Matt Madin, 1995

Trad 10m
22 Gazelle Boy

Technical and exciting. On the boulder left of 'Kodachrome 25' (20m left of Crackle) is this thin crack to the left of a diagonal off-width.

FA: John Smart, Ray Lassman, Humzoo & Norm Booth, 1978

Trad 12m
14 Cosmic Connection

The corner left of 'Gazelle Boy'. Starting up blocks, go up to a crack in the wall.

FA: Humzoo, John Smart & Ray Lassman, 1978

22 Troubador

Opposite 'Gazelle Boy' and down the slope is a boulder with an expanding crack, initially very thin.

FA: John Smart, 1978

Trad 10m
19 Friendly Persuasion

About 20 metres left of 'Cosmic Connection' is a crack with a blank, mossy start. Use gear in 'Friendly Persuasion Indirect' to protect the start.

FA: Ray Lassman, John Smart & Humzoo, 1978

Trad 8m
16 Friendly Persuasion Indirect

Worthwhile. Up the left-hand crack until it peters out, then step right into 'Friendly Persuation'. Also very mossy now.

FA: John Smart & Ray Lassman, 1978

Trad 10m
16 Just A Steal

Further northwest, on the path back to 'The Belfry', just before it goes between two boulders, is a relatively easy off-width on the left.
