The crack starting behind a block.

The wall and pockets left of the groove.

The groove above a nasty landing.

Climb the blank-looking wall using a sloping pocket - that's the only hold.

Start on the ear and reach out to the top pocket on the wall.

Up the splendid flake. The sit-start is f6C.

The sit-start to Elephant's Ear has a burly arm-busting start.

The sloping arete on its left side.

The sloping arete and wall with a skin-trashing hold.

From a poor pocket, mantel onto the left side of the boulder. The mantel on its own is f6A+.

From a sit-start on the bottom right, traverse the rising lip of the small scrittly boulder in front of The Elephant Boulder. Top-out once you reach the top left above another rock. Esoterica for the lovers of lip traverses.

The line of flakes and spikes just right of End Game.
