An old A3 aid route, which requires very gymnastic contortions to surmount some of the roofs. From The Waiting Room climb the short corner which starts below a roof with an obvious circular crack, surmount this (crux) and up to a large roof, which is avoided by a traverse to the left. Finish up a short wall to reach The Pasture.

From the left side of The Waiting Room, make a move round the arête to a good hold (peg), then climb the arête to a small ledge. Continue up the flake crack above. then make a difficult mantelshelf onto the horizontal break, then step right and up another crack to The Pasture
