The clean crack in the right facing corner. The lower section is somewhat polished and is the crux while the upper section is a bit more juggy but still interesting. Good gear throughout.

Jam and lay back the obvious crack to the left of the wall

S 4a 25m, 4a 15m, 4a 20m

A much-ascended classic taking the easiest line up Plum Buttress © Rockfax

The long crack in the wall is started at a small rightward facing corner then direct up.

5 Pitches, great for bringing beginners, or on a wet day.

Climb the wide crack to the left hand end of the slab.

Start up Gamma then head right at the diagonal crack along sparse gear, continue to traverse right along the scooped ledge then finish up jugs left of Trapeze Direct

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

A high-moorland classic that features crack-climbing in all of its guises. It is possible to run the upper pitches together. Start on the right side of the flake that sits at the base of the gully.

1. 9m. Climb the crack and then the groove above (it is also possible to climb the left face of the groove) to a good ledge.

2. 9m. Chimney up the steep crack and exit onto a large ledge and belay.

3. 9m. The easy chimney above to finish. Belay on blocks. © Rockfax

A well-protected pitch. Start at the shallow corner and crack directly above ‘The Bad Step’.

14m: Step in from the right and use twin cracks to gain the corner…

Engaging, varied and well protected. Climb direct up the rounded rib to a prominent left-facing layback flake.

Four contrasting pitches split by good belay ledges. The difficulties on the second pitch are 'traditional' meaning probably harder than VDiff! Start at a tree at the base of a vertical corner that is at the beginning of The Easy Way Down.

1. 23m. Climb the corner with a thin crack, and another couple of corners above it, to a huge flat ledge with various tree belays.

2. 4a, 10m. Can be avoided on the right. Walk right to a well defined hand crack. Boulder up the fun wall and overlap just to its left and then the more technical polished groove in the next wall. Belay at a tree and cracks in the short wall above.

3. 18m. The buttress above is climbed via an excellent crack just left of two small trees. Belay on good ledges above.

4. 12m. Climb a thin hand crack up the centre of the final buttress just right of a tree. Belay at the top on flat ledges.

Tree belay at end of 1st, 3rd and 4th pitches. Peg, nut and stake belay at end of 2nd pitch. The second pitch is the standout. Beware the polish.

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.

Up to the end of the obvious crack, then traverse left and diagonally right up groove.

Whether you start from the left or right of the scoop, it has really tricky first move for the grade. "Princess Bolting" is a better route as an introduction/warm up.

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

a fairly tough line that has some very good moves and feels much longer than it actually is. start at a crack system 5m right of the edge of the crag.

A direct chimney ascent with a challenging beginning.

A supprisingly good route with solid gear and a nice position. The first obviously cleared route on the left hand end of the crag.

A fun route that swallows small nuts. Getting established on the wall takes a bit of effort. Once on follow the rightward trending ramp. Exit directly before the climbing gets too hard.

The original route on this buttress. Starts up 'Niche Wall Direct' before finishing up 'Nicheless Climb'.

Up arete.

the capping overhang that runs right across the wall has a number of breaks that provide cruxes for all routes that cross it. start just right of omega crack

The fourth corner, has a short rib to reach it.

Dave's first new route.

another good little pitch that is perhaps the easiest of the three severes on this section of the wall. start at the base of the crack that leads to the right of the overhangs.
