The crack in the middle slab of the Kingfisher Wall. Currently this is totally overgrow and requires SERIOUS gardening efforts to resurrect it to claimable condition.

On the Right wall of the Kingfisher Walls. Climb up the centre of the Rh wall. Take some wires for a crack after the 5th bolt. It is still quite run out after that till the next one. Note This route was originally climbed on gear only, no bolts!!
