up the easy layback crack left of Corkscrew.

Corkscrew | 20 | 7m |
|
|||||||
From the ledge, move right and up the steep wall to a good layback hold, then
straight up and over the top. Small wires all over the place. Sustained.

Marc Bolan Memorial Arête | 19 | 13m |
|
|||||||
The rounded arete between Corkscrew and Escalade. Good wires in Escalade for
the bottom half, and two marginal RPs just before the top crux - quite bold
and sustained. Some people move onto the right-hand face at about half-height
for a few moves - somewhat easier and allows better pro (by stepping right to
the escalade pro crack).

Escalade | 16 | 13m |
|
|||||||
Climb onto pedestal, then up the groove, moving R at the top. Good pro in the
R crack. Sustained. Alternative direct finish (18) not so well protected
during crux. True diehards can climb just the protection crack (19/20).

Rawhide | 18 | 13m |
|
|||||||
The arete R of Escalade. Delicate balancy climbing on good holds. Pro only by
leaning L to Escalade - not for the faint-hearted. Sustained.

Rampart | 17 | 13m |
|
|||||||
The thin crack in the slab R of Rawhide. Quite delicate moves on hand holds
in the crack. Subtle pro placements which run out
|
||||||||||
Sword in the Stone | 16 | 13m |
|
|||||||
The prominent crack through a small roof at the L of The Cave. Jam or use the
secret hold past the overhang (crux), then move easily up the corner. The
first part of Rampart can be combined with the second half of Sword to give a
grade 15 route.
|
||||||||||
Uncompromising Vulture | 22 | 12m |
|
|||||||
Climb the first part of Sword in the Stone then move R below overhang on
small under-cling hold and up (crux) to climb the short corner. Adequate pro.
John Allen, 1980
|
||||||||||
Thick as a Vulture | 23 | 12m |
|
|||||||
Climb Uncompromising Vulture to the lip of the roof then hand traverse R to a
large block. Scramble onto this and finish as for Thick as a Brick. A good
route.
