16 | ★ Celeste
In the shade for most of the day, so a good one to do when's it's hot. Oh, and the good bit may be short but it's feisty. Originally graded 12!

FA: Rein Kamar & Bill Andrews., 1969 | 25m | |||

22 | Passion
Use pocket to get past the arch and then continue up to bulge (bolt). Pull through this (crux) and then ramble on to the top of the crag.
