Tough start with the coarse sandy rock, made harder by en-route cleaning. Took a few goes to crack it.

Onsight rope solo FA. Pretty straightforward. Watch the ironstone edges on top.

Way too hard, even with a rope solo.

Tried numerous times to get past 1.5 m from the cave but popped off. Finally cracked the very wierd bouldering-gym style beta: leanovers, underpull pockets, and some hands-free, before grabbing the left edge of the cave, crossing it, and finishing up the rounded right with a beefy mantle. Not clear if the route as described ended before the cave or not.

Hard, and dirty til it was brushed.

Tried it several times, and whatever it used to be, or whatever bits fell off, it sure ain't no easy V1 any more. At 5m I was rope soloing.

Glad to have the string from above - flailed over the crux on invisible crimpers, high match, and a small stream of grit.

Went for the OSGUFA but retreated in prudence after several attempts at what turned out to be a ticklish crux and potential fall onto ledge. Candidate for a discreet headwall carrot.

Much harder than CH. Took a few goes to crack the bottom bits.

Not that hard really, unless one attacks the top arete direct?

Love this clean rock, pro and breaks.

Only wish there was a 100m wall of these massive clean jugs somewhere!

JUGS!!!
