Takes the steep wall and very overhung corner/groove line left of GOT.

Start: from a little raised platform on the left of the wall.

Climb up and right on the jugs. Three pitches following the left-hand trending break into the V-corner line high on the left skyline of the wall. Aid out under the first roof system up left into the grooves at the top.

To the right of GOT is a steep corner/pillar before the main dihedral of T-Rex. The route starts immediately below the pillar in a steep corner. 1 pitch leads up the left-hand side of the pillar to a ledge. Walk right to find a gargoyle and rappel.

The Subsidiary Amphitheatre left of the Gendarme is marked by huge staggered roofs 20-30m up. The left-hand roof is the largest and is terminated on its right-hand side by a large block. Start directly below this.

1. Climb to a small overhang, pull through and move left. Climb to the overhang and traverse right. Continue to a steep stepped corner to stance under a smooth open book.

Traverse right, and then up featured rock to stance on top of a white ramp.

2. Move up and right. Tricky moves up to a horn, then pretty much straight up on excellent, grey rock to the top.

Just left of the centre of the wall is a heavily pocketed roof at a height of about 8m. Some 10m left of this roof is a left facing corner crack. Start on the face below and left of this crack. Descent: To escape from here traverse 15m to the right passing behind a big flake into a gulley. Follow this back to the main access gulley where a 15m abseil takes one back down.

1. Climb the face to the left of the yellow patch and move into the corner crack. Climb this, then rail left until it is possible to pull through the left end of the double-tiered roof. Move back to the right along the lip until able to pull up into another crack which is followed to a stance in a recess with chicken heads.

2. Climb the layback crack above and then, at the gulley, step right and climb faces and cracks to a ledge.

A Yosemite type crack on the corner of the Gendarme just before the amphitheatre comes into view. Start next to a boulder 10m right of exodus. Climb the hand-crack 1.5m left of the corner to the overhang. Pull through and climb the finger-crack to the rappel anchor.
