A superior variation on Black Velvet. Climb the corner half way up that route, but move out left to a possible belay. Climb the corner above to an exposed nose which is climbed by a series of awkward and poorly protected mantelshelves

Start at the holly. Swing left on to a ledge, then move left again to climb a corner leading to a roof. Sumount this and continue up an easier finishing crack.

Bridge anxiously up above the holly until a difficult step can be made right to a wide crack. Follow this to the top.

The fine slab to the right of the huge pedestal is bold.

The mild jamming crack has good hidden layaway holds. Western Grit's answer to Froggatt's renowned Heather Wall.

Starts on the higher ledge to the right and finishes up the dark and slippery Raven Rock Gully. Best split into 2 pitches otherwise rope drag may be a problem.

Between Fledgling's Climb and Little Chimney.

The narrow rift in the main angle is a well-protected struggle and the leftward exit is a pig; the best advice is to try staying high. Often green early in the season or after rain, in which case it is worthy of a manky HS 4c.

Bridge the leaning corner (without pushing too hard on the flake) and then step left to reach the rectilinear fissure, thankfully above the wide and potentially awkward lower section.

arête on R side

one boulder, many options

crack

Climb the juggy groove to bulges which are passed by moving leftwards.

Climb rightwards up the front of the buttress over a series of bulges on the large perched flakes.

Up and right of the slot.

A direct route through the wandering line of Idleburger Buttress. Climb straight up and then to the left of the obvious roof where Idleburger Buttress goes right.

A well-travelled line up the slab and corner in the centre of Evening Wall. Start at the left side of the slab where it abuts a steep wall. Make a bouldery move over the low overhang to get established on the slab. Climb the polished slab, with a move right to runners in a thin horizontal crack halfway. Gain a ledge at the base of the steeper upper corner. Follow the corner to an exit on the left. A variation finish up the wall and overhang right of the final corner is also worthwhile.

Alternative route off lunchtime ledge to Direct Route.

1. Easy, 25m.

2. 4a, 30m.

3. 4a, 25m.

Rockfax Description Popular and often climbed but care is needed with the route finding. Start 4m left of the Central Rib belay at some short walls leading to a big grassy/vegetated ledge.

1. 15m. Scramble up ledges and at the big grassy/vegetated ledge go left and back right to a belay under a dark grey wall with two noticeable slanting borehole strikes in it.

2. 4a, 25m. Head up past the overhang above and on up to reach an iron spike. Move up past an overlap and then trend leftwards next to a shallow rib until a traverse left can be made to gain a small tree. From the tree take the steep flake and bulge to a good small stance.

3. 4a, 15m. Climb up to a borehole (thread) and make some steep moves up to a rib and easier ground. Climb up past a tree to a straightforward finish.
