22 SPONGIFY Sport 8 Classic
Bit thin here and there. Bad lead-out bolt 1 to 2.

20 Diffindo Sport 7 Very Good
Easy moves to a roof, where a powerful LH grip on a shelf is need to clip the bolt for the crux. Neat move through the crux - twist body to the right and balance on the top of a horn. Step up to shelf and chains.

 
19 Harry Pothead Sport 6 Average
Interesting stemming low down, and a powerful hand jam to clip for the crux. Easy beyond the crux.

 
19 Voltamor Sport 8 Very Good
Power climb up a black open book. Mantle shelf out of a roof, to the chains. Nice climb!

 
17 Gryffindor (GRIFFENDORE) Sport 10 Very Good
Nice climb. Bit thin near the top. Longish lkead-out bolts 2 to 3.

18 HUFF 'N PUFF Sport 9 Crap
An 18 huh? Like hell? It used to be 18 before a huge flake broke free above the "bulge". At least a 19 - probably 20 now, on very painful, small, right-hand shelves. Off-balance too.

 
14 Slitherin Sport 10 Classic
For a 14, a superb climb. Beautiful crack line, followed by sleves then a smallish chimney to stem. Clean - a neat climb to do on trad!

 
17 RAVENS CLAW Sport 9 Crap
A truly crap climb. Balancy in the extreme, with stupid lead-out (possible deck-fall) bolts 2 to 3. Upper reashes require partial mantle shelf on crappy pinchers.

21 A SHORTCUT TO MUSHROOMS Sport 8 Average
OK climb. Crap moves low down - power and balance with awkward body stance to move from 2nd bolt to 3rd. Followed by long lead-outs and precarious balance on a sharp nose. Then a set of shelves to the chains.

 
20 Hobbitry In Arms Sport 6 Very Good
Short little power climb. No skill - just strength.

 
22 PIPE WEED Sport 8 Average
Follows a nice crack lie to the roof. Awkwrad moves under the roof, followed by a really potent mantle shelf, with sod-all to hold once you've moved through it.

 
18 Ramble On Sport 6 Very Good
A peculiar mixture of balance and finger strength. Top part can be a bit wet.
