[Alun on the First Ascent of Map of the Problematique, 2 kb]35m. Climbs through the bulging black wall with interest and difficulty to gain an immaculate slab above which will be thoroughly enjoyed by slab lovers (and will probably spit you off if you don't!) Once an abandoned project now a well bolted sport route with 16 bolts and a lower off. 70 metre ropes required to lower off, alternatively belay at the top and walk off. Start to the right of the Shouting Stage E56a. Easy in the grade.

Hidden - Lead O/S - 22/Sep/12

Best route of the crag. Probably more like 6c+ but maybe 7a due to its length? It is possible to lower-off with a 60m rope as you can access a ledge a couple of metres up, untie, then scramble down easy terrain. However, be careful, and remember to tie a knot in the belayer's end of the rope.

Delightful upper slab, decent rambling below. Not 3 stars but good.
