Rainshadow is the stunning extension to Raindogs.

FFA: Steve McClure, 2003

Britain's first 9b!

This is a linkup of four routes. The line starts with Raindogs (5.13b), moves onto and through the crux of Rainshadow (5.14d), onto Batman (5.14d/5.15a) and then finishes up on Batroute (5.14b).

FFA: Steve McClure, 6 Jun 2017

The route starts on Bat Route and then heads into a section of 8c+, before rejoining Bat Route on the headwall.

Initially graded 9a/a+ it settled at 9a.

FFA: Steve McClure, 2013

Extension of 'Thriller' through the boulder problem and then traverses right on decent holds to a middle of the crag lower-off.

FA: Gaz Parry, 2002

Extension of 'Thriller'.

From where 'Victor Hugo' traverses right, Hugo Boss now goes straight up via another very hard boulder problem, followed by another hard move left and then straight up to join Zippy's line at the often-wet streak (dry now). From the junction it's still about 7c+ to the top, finishing right up there on the ledge. Steve McClure
