A series of overhangs immediately to the right of the gully; good finishing holds.
Grade: 5b | First Ascent: -2000
Rating: 1
Start between Inverted Stairway and Finger of Fun. Pull ove the big overhang and climb the arête direct on small, but positive holds.
Grade: | First Ascent: -1967
Rating: 0
The obvious flakes on the left wall of a deep V-shaped groove. Awkward to start and to finish.

Rating: 1
Go straight up the groove and out over the surprising roof.
Grade: 4a | First Ascent: -1967
Rating: 0
Start up the groove, but avoid the roof by a tricky move out right.

Grade: 5b | First Ascent: (1975-79)
Rating: 2
The name is not quite as ludicrous as it first seems! The very prominent jutting arête is climbed on its left side; there is really only one hard move, but it`s an exquisite one.
Grade: 5b | First Ascent: -1992
Rating: 0
The arête of Space Walk on its right side.
Grade: 4c | First Ascent: -1967
Rating: 0
The wall round to the right, via a thin crack just left of the main one.

Rating: 1
An awkward bulge guards the enjoyable crack.
Grade: 4b | First Ascent: -1984
Rating: 1
Climb directly over the bulge on to a vague rib and finish over the fine, juggy overhang.
Grade: 4a | First Ascent: -1967
Rating: 0
Climb the next deep groove, with an awkward move right to a steep crack at the overhang: easier for the short.
Grade: 4a | First Ascent: -2000
Rating: 0
The steep rib right of Seventh Heaven is climbed direct on surprisingly good holds.
Grade: | First Ascent: (1975-79)
Rating: 0
The obvious blocky corner.
Grade: 5a | First Ascent: -1967
Rating: 0
The clean, square wall just to the right, has a couple of good moves on small pockets which lead to a flake crack.
Grade: 5a | First Ascent: -1967
Rating: 1
Just beyond the rib is an undercut wall split by two cracks. This route takes the left-hand crack.
Grade: 4c | First Ascent: -1967
Rating: 0
Climb the right-hand crack.
Grade: 4c | First Ascent: -1967

Rating: 0
Climb the obvious twin cracks in a groove.
Grade: 4c | First Ascent: -1967
Rating: 0
(Incorrectly named Description in recent guidebooks.) The next wall, set back slightly, is steep and tricky until the thin vertical crack in its centre is gained.
