18 | ★★ Ghost Of Galston
Starts 5m right of the corner crack in the centre of main wall. Start below small orange roof and follow the rings to the top. No lower-offs but DBB just back from edge (Large bolt heads only just fit standard brackets so take wires or belay off giant tree further back). Needs another ring or 2 FA: A.Batey, 2013 | 15m, 6 | Galston Gorge | ||

17 | ★ Needs Nuts Not Bolts
The crack on the right of the big nose. Straight up the orange corner and crack above, then right out the keyhole between the two giant stones.

17 | Ghost busters
Start as for GOG. Up to roof then left out and up the slab. Lots of good cam placements, and 2 small nuts needed FA: Timothy Mayer, 7 Nov 2020 | 15m | Galston Gorge | ||
21 | The Traversing Sand Turkey
Something different Start in the corner to the left of KC. Move into horizontal crack and then head left following it around the corner and above the big roof and then head up to top once the crack runs out. Needs a clean and big gear. FA: Timothy Mayer, 7 Nov 2020 | 12m | Galston Gorge |
