One of the longer lines on the wall that features a tough section on the final headwall. Start below an ivy patch. 24m. Climb to a rope thread. Ascend the wall on the left of the ivy patch and continue past the right side of an overhang at two-thirds height. Climb the steep headwall with difficulty to finish. © ROCKFAX
Start below a large in-situ thread. Climb the lower wall past three bolts, moving left at the third, then up through guano and back right. Hard sequence on the upper wall to a ledge and abseil station.

Fantastic sequence at the top. I worked out all the moves but wasn't quite able to redpoint it frustratingly. Must return and get this.

Loose rock and strange bolting. Not worth the effort to get back on.
