Walk L under the crag 200-300m until you are directly in line with the gash under the natural bridge. Start up crack (crux natural pro) which splits the broad buttress directly beneath the observation platform, then only slightly easier climbing past the vegetated ledge following the line of 5 bolts.

A staunch wee corner that will get you thinking - and skating! You're now warmed up for the face above. Place a big wire or med cam and shoot straight up the crack above or alternatively inch out right and up before heading back left to the belay.

Starts approximately 20metres right of Strawberry Jam. Scramble up onto the top of a pillar detached from the wall and reach across the void to make the first clip. Step across onto the wall and steeply up to a tricky move across to the right. Up into a corner and ledge then out left and up a flake to the belay on the edge of the Cyclops Eye.
