Starts below the other routes on this wall and finishes at DBA on shelf.
The crux is the top section, which goes right from the jugs below last bolt. The left-hand finish is good too, and makes the climb grade 22.

Left most bolted line off main shelf at base of wall. Cool moves on great rock. The climb was "Born In A Storm" as Peter O'Neill puts it.

DBA. Difficult finish
First Bolted route to the Left of the Chimney.

The slab to the right of BBC. Clip the first bolt before starting to avoid
taking your belayer with you on a unplanned trip to the sea. Uses the slab
only, not the face on the right - that's another climb! Enjoy the view of the
sea as the ground slopes away as you climb...
DBA at top.

The slab to the right of BBC, uses the wall on the right too. Clip the first
bolt before starting to avoid visiting the sea with your belayer. A good
beginner's lead with just enough feeling of exposure. Finish in the same way
as Foveaux Slab. DBA at top.
