At the right hand end of Avian Wall there is a huge overhang. The Circus begins right of the overhang and is bounded by more overhangs further to the right. Access is up stainless glued in pegs and runners to a fixed chain. A short length of steel ladder helps facilitate quick access to the belay. A belay seat is attached to the chain for a comfortable belay. The higher routes require two ropes for the abseil or alternativelty, two abseils to the ground.. The wall is deceptively overhanging so cleaning may be difficult if the second doesn't follow the route. A second via ferrata further right opens up a cluster of additional routes on excellent quality rock.

Up the via ferrata to the far left hand end. Up left into the corner. A quality line that deserves a good clean. A 60 metre rope will just reach the ground.

From the fixed belay seat, move left along the chain and up into the layback corner. Onto a big ledge then up a second layback corner. The two stars are reserved for the first pitch only.

From the belay at the top of the first pitch of 'Tiger by the Tail', move immediately right then up a sustained wall of finger locks and pockets.

Up the obvious open book corner above the right hand end of the fixed chain. Cams to #2 Camalot, maybe double up, plus a few medium to large wires. A steep, clean line.

Climb two metres up Book of Life then traverse along a horizontal break to the other side of the hanging pillar. Follow a crack to the top of the pillar for a rest then out across the wall on a layback flake. Swing out onto a hanging slab beneath the overhanging headwall. Exceptional finger locks and pockets to the top. A single 60m rope will just reach the ground.

Up the right hand via ferrata to a belay in the corner. Move left and up from the belay to a horizontal break. Move around into the corner and bridge up to the rings under the roof.

Head rightwards under the roof for 2.5 metres until the vertical crackline appears. Strenuous and technical moves over the bulge then follow the crack all the way to the belay under the roof. It is advisable to tape the right hand for some obligatory hand jambs. Absolute quality line on aesthetic rock.

From the base of the corner at the top of the via ferrata, traverse rightwards along the line of the roof clipping three bolts along the way. Once you reach the vertical cracks, follow them to the belay up under the big roof. Take three long slings to protect the journey up the via ferrata. A difficult route to clean - lower to the ground and have your partner strip the pro on top rope.
