Climbs the first corner which has some excellent hand-jams.

Rating: 1
Two metres to the left is a rotten arête with a large slabby scoop to its left. Climb the scoop to a very thin crack, then follow this to an easier finish.
Grade: 4c | First Ascent: -1983
Rating: 1
Climb the next corner and finish on the right at the top.
Grade: 4c | First Ascent: -1996

The third corner, starting just to the right, then climb to the overhang with a drill-hole in it and step right to finish.
Grade: 5c | First Ascent: -1981
Rating: 3
The finger crack which opens into a peapod-like feature contains a wedged block at its top. A classic struggle, but low in its grade.
Grade: 4a | First Ascent: -1996
Rating: 0
The crack/chimney behind the detached tower two metres to the left. Move right up the blunt arête to finish.

Climb the outside face of the detached tower.
Grade: 4b | First Ascent: -1996
Rating: 1
The `cleaned` narrow face four metres to the left. Surmount the initial bulge, to place good protection in the left crack, then continue up the face on hidden holds. A surprisingly good route.

The right-leaning chimney/groove in the centre of the next wall.
Grade: 4a | First Ascent: -1998
Rating: 0
The deep corner groove that starts three metres farther left.
Grade: 4c | First Ascent: -1998
Rating: 0
Just round the arête on the left there is a prominent, square-cut overhang at mid-height, with a wide crack on its right. Scramble over ledges and finish up the wide crack.
Grade: 6b | First Ascent: -1996
Rating: 1
An excellent climb, which gives strenuous and technical, but well protected, climbing. Climb to the prominent, square-cut overhang, step left on to a block, then climb directly up to a peg at a small overlap. Undercut the break rightwards to another peg and finish direct, slapping wildly up the right arête.

The blocky groove on the left.
Grade: 5b | First Ascent: -1997
Rating: 0
Five metres to the left a detached tower forms a deep V-groove on its right. Climb the wall to a ledge below the V-groove, then step right to gain the arête and follow this to the top. Worthwhile.

Start up All in the Mind, then continue straight up the V-groove above.
Grade: 5b | First Ascent: -1997
Rating: 0
Three metres to the left. Pleasant climbing up the front face of the detached pillar. A problem start leads to good holds up the wide face of the detached tower.

Rating: 0
Climb the blunt right arête of the V-groove via an unattractive crack.
Grade: 4b | First Ascent: -1998

Climb the deep V-groove using the wide crack in the left wall.
Grade: 5b | First Ascent: -1978
Rating: 1
Climb the poorly-protected left arête of the V-groove.
Grade: 4a | First Ascent: -1978
Rating: 0
Climb the chimney crack immediately right of the next corner, then step left and finish up the corner, past a small tree.
