    Two metres left of the nose is a crack. Climb this to a scoop, then continue directly to the top.

    Start two metres to the left and climb easily to a crack at half height, then finish up this.

    Climb over obvious blocks on the left to a ledge at half-height, then follow the leftward-trending crack to the top.

  • 21 - Kissing the Gunner`s Daughter

    A hard route with a subtle and poorly protected start and a strenuous, but well protected finish. Right of Main Wall is a grooved wall, with an obvious hanging crack in the right-hand arĂȘte. Climb a short corner to the base of the crack and gain the crack from the left. Follow the crack strenuously to finish.
