12m. Odd but entertaining. Monkey up the steep blocky corner to its top then trend left up the wall to below the final large roof that caps the wall. Cross this using a superb curly jug to make a belly-flop landing. © ROCKFAX

A truly monkeying climb. The beginning is a fun challenge as long as you hug the boulder on the right. Once on top of it there is a lovely rest seat that makes a nice nest. The finishing move is rather exciting and was eventually completed thanks to Steve's beta. 2 stars.

Probably didn't take the best line at the start. Bellyflop at the top was really fun!
Nick Russell - 2nd O/S - 20/May/12 with Noel

The start is a thuggish 5b. The curly jug belly flop was beyond me; had to go up further left. I would give it E1 5c.

Started on left wall below the o'hanging block. Used two small horiz. handholds and small footholds to reach over the block (good runner on lip if reqd.) - then laybacked facing left. Western Roll over the o'hanging finish (superb h/holds) but only after 2nd man was belayed at the same level . . . First done by me in 1970s (solo).
