P1 20 20m 7 This route tends left through the overhanging lower section, around the corner and up the left side of the aréte. Look out for sneaky bolts. Bolted by Neil Silverwood.

P1 22 22m 8 Shares first bolt with Elbow Sheep, then heads right up the steeper part of the face. Meanders a little, especially above the bulge where the rock deteriorates. DBA.
	Optical Illusion, 23	23	20m	8	1.02
Clip the first bolt then step off the ledge onto the climb. Make a few tricky moves on the orange face, then crank through the sustained overhang. Right hand route of the crag. P1 23 20m 8
