1) 4a, 20m. Climb the cleaned stripe to the second big tree as for West Wall Climb (p.380 ).
2) 4c, 30m. Follow the base of the steep wall rightwards (vegetated) until it is possible to climb down the upper part of P1 of The Thorn and belay where a ramp runs out right.
3) 5a, 16m. Follow the ramp rightwards to a small stance on the polished ramp of Central Wall.
4) 5a, 14m. Continue in the same line to a small stance in the groove of The Fly.
