Verdone, 22 | 22 | 6 | |||||
Start a short way down the gully by some thorn bushes. Deal with the crux at the start, and you'll find good holds in the break. Climb to the top of the tufa before deciding how to move left and joint the final section of Verdid.

Vernicious Knid, 23 | 23 | 9 | |||||
Head down the gully until you reach a belay bolt at the base of a shattered groove. Swing left onto the wall and climb to a wide tufa pillar, before struggling up to the grassy shelf. Head left and unto a shallow scoop. Continue up the corner above to an obvious loose-looking block on the next ledge system. Finish at the in-situ belay.

Versed, 24 | 24 | 8 | |||||
Bridge up the groove then head rightwards across the wall, then up to a ledge via a rounded tufa and a letterbox hold. From the ledge, move up to a deep hole and swing left onto the steep face. Head back rightwards above the bolt before finishing easily at a double bolt belay.
