A must for aspiring hardmen. The striking orange arête with a peg at two-thirds-height is climbed on the left-hand side to the peg (don`t blow the 5c move below the peg), then swing round the arête and layback to the top.

15 metres to the left. Start just right of a blunt, stepped arête, at a block and climb the shallow groove. Finish via a flake on the left.

Have a `good look` at the blunt arête itself, starting on the right.

Start just to the left of the arête and climb a flaky crack to a small ledge at mid-height. Climb up and go right to a large ledge on the arête, then step left in an exposed position and use a flake to finish.

Climb the flake crack just left of the next corner.

Reminiscent of the Froggatt classic. Climb Cherry Bomb to the roof, then step right round the arête, following the break to a good handjam just before the corner. Finish direct up the wall (crux).

An excellent route, up the blatantly obvious corner that is capped by an overhang. Once above the overhang finish on the left arête. A fine exercise in bridging. The roof proves easier that it first appears.

The fine arête to the left of Cherry Bomb is climbed in its entirety. A serious and sustained route of great quality.

Climb the thin crack just to the left to a horizontal break, then move right along this until it is possible to finish up another crack, immediately to the left of the arête.
