Start just right of Prow Corner, directly below a bleached stump. Climb to the stump and traverse right to a rib, then climb the right side of this to finish over the bulge on good holds.

Just beyond the Midway Boulders on the path there is a prominent square-cut roof low down. Climb the corner on the right of this to a ledge, then step left and finish on good holds up the wall above. A rather pointless route that offers little new climbing.

The impressive undercut prow demands powerful moves in an exposed position. On the first ascent a micronut was preplaced at the base of the prow itself and even with this, the climbing feels very serious. Climb Prow Corner for a couple of metres until it is possible to traverse left with feet on the break beneath the overhang, using pockets at the lip of the overhang. Ascend the arête to a good block, then finish more easily.

A direct start past the preplaced wire.

A good climb, better than it looks. Start at a deep corner directly below the blunt rib of Farleton Prow. Climb the corner to the square-cut roof, then traverse left and go up to a large block. Step back right and finish up the short crack.
