South Side

The following problems are all situated on the south side of the main boulder. It is often sheltered from the wind and therefore quite a nice suntrap. Unfortunately overweight men looking to  achieve an all over tan have also discovered this! Short climbers might need a ‘cheat stone’ to reach the starting holds on some problems.

Routes on this crag

LHS Arête (5)

From a standing start take the arête to the top of the boulder. A dodgy landing, so find a spotter.

LHS Arête Sit Star (6)

A sit-start variation to LHS Arête. Start in the centre of the scoop and gain the finger rail. Move left along this rail until you reach the arête. Follow this to…

Scoop (7)

Start in the centre of the scoop and use the sharp hold on your right and clever bridging to gain the top.

Standby (8)

A sit start variation to Scoop. Start As for LHS Arête. Sit-start up to the finger rail. From there make a big move right to the sharp handhold which brings you…

Bulge (9)

Start with your hands in the crack and follow the brown watermark.

Face (10)

A difficult problem for the short, but is still possible. There is also a variation that starts two feet to the left, which goes at the same grade.

Cracks (11)

From a standing start follow the system of vertical cracks to the top.

RHS Arête (12)

From a standing start and with a handhold on either side of the arête make a move to the horizontal crack then monkey hug your way to the top.

The Classic (13)

High up on anyone’s tick list! This takes the obvious line on the overhanging east side of the main boulder, and as the name suggests, is a true classic. Sit-start with…

The Link (14)

A nice problem linking the start of “The Classic” into the whole of the RHS Arête problem. Once the sloper is gained look left and you’ll see another huge sloper at…

Real Men Wear Pink (15)

A variation to the Classic. Once all the hard work is done break left into the groove and climb to the top.

Corner Crack (16)

The crack to the left of the slab is an easy warm-up.

The Slab (17)

Climb the slab without the cracks to the left or right. There are many eliminates for this slab with the most popular being removal of the horizontal and/or vertical cracks, and removal…

Off-Width Crack (18)
