25/05/2022 - We have now confirmed that there is a kestrel nest halfway up the "Owl and the Antelope". Please refrain from climbing routes in this area from April 15th - July 31st to allow the birds to care for their young.

75m. A logical and interesting left-to-right girdle traverse, shunning much of the potential ledge-walking, and shamelessly making use of the BRs on vertical routes. Take a few cams and wires.
1. - Fr. 6b Climb to BR2 on Rockover Beethoven. Traverse right along a narrowing footledge, climbing up and rightward onto the Deathwish arĂȘte. Continue across Fly me to the Moon and clip BR3 of Man or Mouse. Traverse delicately right past 2BR on Let me Play and continue along a hand-ledge (PR) to take a belay on BRs on some good ledges on The Relaxed Ladybird. 45m.
2. - Fr. 6b+ Make a hard move up and right on Great Expectations. Traverse right along the lip of the roof of Western Front, under its crack, into the groove of Let me Know. Hop around the arĂȘte of Evening Light (2PR) and balance across the scoop of Save a Mouse Move up and traverse across The Owl slab at the level of its slot, gaining a hand-sized pocket left of On Jupiter. Move diagonally right to exit. 30m.
