Climb the crack at the left side of the wall, then instead of finishing over easy blocks, step right and climb the edge of the wall.

Start directly below the bulge at the left end of the crag to the right of the short pink wall and a slanting crack. Climb strenuously over the bulge on poor holds to a good flake. Move right at the top to finish.

A fingery climb. Start two metres to the right at a short, shallow depression and climb up, then transfer to another slim vertical crack on the right. A hard move up leads up to better holds and a less difficult finish at a small ash tree.

An interesting route, but the crux move is easier for those with a long reach. Start just to the left of the central corner crack. Climb the wall leftwards on sketchy holds to a prominent block hold just left of the overlap. The steep wall leads on gradually improving holds to the top.

Climb the wall just left of Gloom to the obvious projecting holds at the break. Pull past these (crux) to better holds and the left-hand finish of Gloom. Side runner in that route.

A really good route up the obvious groove. At the top it is usual to finish either right or left of the overhang, but it can also be climbed directly on good holds.

Climb the rounded arête just right of Gloom. A very hard rock-over is followed by a thin crack. Swarm up the face to the left of the yew.

8m right of Eclipsed is a leaning wall of good rock, just right of a loose-looking cracked area. Climb the left side of the wall using a slanting hold and finish left of the top bulge.

From the centre of the slim wall left of Troglodyte, climb up left to a small ledge beneath a yew, then pull out right over the bulge to finish.

Start one metre right and climb the bulging wall to a shallow depression. Traverse right with hands on the obvious horizontal break to reach a tree belay directly above the neb.

The twin hanging cracks on the right of the large overhanging neb.
