The left arête of the square-cut recess, some 50 metres before the Great Cave, forms a hanging slab. Start on its left and climb to an overlap, then step right on to the slab and climb this in a pleasant position.

From just below the left side of the Great Cave, move left on to the wall, then climb this, trending right on small holds.

The arête below the crack on the left side of the Great Cave, then finish up the top crack.

This route has become considerably harder since a loose block at mid-height was removed. Start 15 metres right of the Great Cave and climb the left arête of the next buttress, with a hard move above a poor block at mid-height.

An interesting start, which has defeated many and some will also wish that it relented a bit sooner above this. Start three metres right and climb the prominent, undercut flake.

Start as for Cuticle Crack, but move out right just above the bulge to gain the arête. Finish up this. Short, but bold, with a nasty landing.

The oft-damp corner to the right.
