Thin crimps and side pulls up twin thin cracks. Awesome moves up beautiful rock, only thing wrong with this climb is that there isn’t more of it. Run out after last bolt but through jugs to glory. Enjoy a dip after, probably one of the top ends best located climbs.

Delightful romp up obvious corner between SSSW and ET. Best done on Top Rope, there is some lose rock so careful for trad placements or hand/foot holds.

Stick to the thin crack in middle of face. Nice moves through lower section with slight run out to third bolt. Careful of some lose blocks on the left side.

Start at water climbing obvious thin crack straight up the face. Incredible climbing which is sustained from bottom to top.

Nice holds, plenty of protection, enjoyable morning climb. Dedicated to my new wife Ash. Wall off back left.

Start 2m right of Mrs Hobson and follow obvious left leaning crack up to small roof to top out. Be careful of lose rocks, most should have been cleared.
