Start as for A4A, then move right after the first bolt and up the weakness to a ledge capped by a roof (cam or medium wire pro). Start up the corner as for Stu Allan Memorial Roof, then out left to bolt on face, straight up headwall past one more bolt, then left onto the arete at the top. A shorter variant (21; 4 bolts) steps left to the A4A anchor when you reach the ledge.

Swing round to the steep face and climb direct up the arête left of “Bridging Over Lyttelton”. Above the third bolt reach up into a blind crack finishing awkwardly to easier ground.

Start about three metres right of "Bridging Over Lyttelton" directly below a steep overhanging groove. Beat a path up the wall between the trees to the base of the groove. Difficult moves into the groove lead to good holds. At the top of the groove swing out left onto the face and good holds lead to a no hands rest. Continue up a short vertical wall onto easier, but lichen covered, rock joining "Bridging Over Lyttelton" at it's last bolt. Finish as for "B.O.L."

about 15m to the left of SM/CM. Easy moves to the first bolt, then a battle with slopers to the last bolt. Above the last bolt you can either swing left onto easy ground, or carry on up on the right via bridging.Quite sustained.

Sart left of "Colonel Malone", move up onto a pedestal (BR.) below a small roof. Climb directly over the roof (easiest to the right of the bolt) using positive holds to reach huge jugs (BR). Continue directly up the wall past the third bolt to the fourth bolt, although it is easier to move towards the 18 to the left. After clipping the fourth bolt difficult moves up the front face of the obvious tower lead to a slight alcove, then on good holds over the top.
