Lord of the Ring

Black Arrow

Where the Thrush Knocks

Soft Start

Variation

Smaug

Frodo

Alice Does Wonderland

Start under the roof and climb out and right of the arete.

Same start as Frodo, within a guano ridden cave-like structure at the far north end of the crag. Take your pick of holds at the start, doing your best to avoid the nasty bird slime that inhabits a few of the hold off to your right. Mmmmmmm, just wipe it on your pants and keep climbing you ninny! Clip the first bolt and perhaps even the second above that if you desire, and traverse right on a large easy ramp until you can clip the next bolt. The crux follows the first bolt off the ramp and the next bolt is quite poorly placed as you risk an ankle biter on the ledge below should you bite it through the crux. After the crux endure the jugs to the chains.

Starts as Variation and traverses right to finish on Soft Start.

As the name says, but moves up on jugs and the climb gets steeper.  It goes just to the left of the white streak up high.

Starts to the right of, and then traverses left to finish on Lord of the Ring.

Great holds with some pretty cool movement on this moderate route.

Shares the same start as Black Arrow (remember the guano to the right!) under the cave. Again avoid the bird slime up to the first bolt, reach high to clip the second, and trend slightly left. The wall is less than overhung after the second bolt and it looks pretty run-out. Also, it appears that holds are non-existent from the ground when looking between the 2nd and 3rd bolts. However, they are there! Keep at it. And though there are a few tricky moves above the second bolt, you will soon be touching bomber jugs before you get close to the third. Clip the third bolt and endure the crux between the third and fourth, where small holds and overhanging rock threaten, but soon there is again a jug. Continue through jugs to the anchor.
