Down the right hand end of the crag and immediately right of 'Eject-o-flap'. Up to the roof, a devious move right, then good holds to a long reach left before balancing across to the chains.

Just to the right to EF, sharing first bolt. Beware potential ground fall before clipping second bolt (very easy climbing though). Short technical brainteaser near the top. Drilled by Steve, gifted to Maud.

Up the jugs on the point then traverse left to a stance. Great crux sequence above on excellent stone. Generally requires a wide span to latch the right edge of the wall but has been climbed direct on crimpers.
