-
High. Climb the obvious weakness right of the roof. Gets a trad grade of HS 4b.
-
Excellent break to break climbing sets up a final and exciting pull for the top holds. High.
-
Jug pulling gains a pair of 'duck-bill' holds and a hard move to pass a sloper is all that's left before the top jug.
-
The wall climbed through the big boss on good holds until the top. Becomes more slopey when topping out.
-
The rightmost wall is a pleasant exercise.

-
The low start to 'The Odyssey' climbing the entire ramp line - bring lots of pads.
-
From a stand at the edge of the plinth, climb the ramp and then airily top out.
-
High. Reach up to the good holds at the end of the ramp to start and continue upwards. If you cant reach the holds, stack a pad. Worthwhile in its own right, but better when climbed after the hard sequence of 'The Odyssey.'
