Routes as boulder in Topside

Sit start on the sea side of the boulder, near the tree stump, with your hands in the rail and your foot near the lip. Climb under the boulder to finish on the up side. This is an awesome warm-up - with no hard moves in 8m of roof/ cave climbing. (Named after the voyage in Star Wars Episode 1)
