Starting from the 'Faithless' & 'Kickapoo' ledge continue to traverse along the central break of the sea face of this wall until forced to ascend onto the summit at the southern end of the crag. (approx 15m beyond 'Legavallon Grooves') With a very distinct crux and it involves a bear hug!

Climb 'Splits' for a few meters and make an airy wee move rightwards to gain the jugs immediately above the roof below. Traverse right just above the roof on superb rock and jugs. Follow the natural fault line to summit. Excellent exposure!

At the back of the overhung recess, 8 mtr left of the "flop." Climb boldly upto the jammed white bouy to a good ledge. Continue steeply up right following the flakes and jugs to and excellent crux at half hieght to a further smaller ledge. Climb direct to summit on slightly poorer rock.

Same approach as for 'Average Contents'. Traverse in to middle of slab and then proceed up to meet shallow crackline.

A superb high tide sea level traverse of Scalpachore Crag. Start in the boulder beach between Scalpachore Crag and The Inland Crag, traverse ‘out to sea’ until on the platforms at the seaward tip of the crag. A route best savoured when Neptune is in the building!

The first crack in the bulging wall between ‘Iron Man’ and ‘Joe L’s Jaunt’. There are two variations possible, the start is the crux for both. Strenuous moves gain a good ledge to the left of where the crack forks. The left fork can be climbed easily or the right with a tricky move through a bulge near the top.

The crack to the right of ‘Two Ends of a Middle’. The start is the crux. Either make a difficult move off the ground to gain a jug or simply jump up. Climb the crack to the top making copious use of the flake crack to the left. May feel difficult to the vertically challenged!

A right to left diagonal of the wall. Start as for ‘Seggálegge’, gain the flake crack and move up and left into ‘Two Ends of a Middle’ right hand finish. At a horizontal break, move left into the left hand finish and continue up this.

In the centre of the undercut wall between ‘Flowing Tide’ & ‘Chockstone Chimney’ climb the right trending Quartz crack fault line. Steep & unforgiving with layback jugs in ALL the right places!

On the left wall of ‘Chockstone Chimney’, climb the steep groove on perfect jugs and up the right facing corner to an airy top out.

Start as for ‘Knickers’. At approximately half way across the traverse a flake crack heads up slightly rightwards to some undercut holds. Use these to gain the wall above just below the right end of a long overlap. Traverse easily leftwards below the overlap to re-join ‘Knickers’ near the top.

This takes the next obvious crack/corner line a few metres to the right of ‘Stira’ past the blank wall . Move up from platform to a pointy step. Using the crack reach up to good hold above and continue up laybacking on the flakes. Good hold on left at top, then rock over to the right onto blank slab to finish.
