The big white corner sandwiched between roofs. Probably best to do a short approach pitch to the rigging on the left wall. Then up the corner till the diagonal break across the wall to the right, to finish at the same anchor as The 3-Hour Woman.

Mum’s the word. Start as for The 2.4 Minute Man then head left onto the white wall after the 3rd bolt.

Woah, that’s fast. Thin and sequential climbing with a sporty finish.

Ultra classic. The falcons enjoy this section of cliff too. Climb up the ramp then get stuck into some thin moves followed by pumpy face climbing on steep, well-featured rock.
