On left side of Upper Tier there is an obvious short corner at the top of the wall. Climb easily to the corner and a stiffer finish

Between R1 and PZZ is a groove that forks at half height. Climb the LHS of the groove and the L fork. Hard to protect

The RHS and right fork of the groove. Well protected with a bit of a pull to finish

On left side of Upper Tier, take line trending slightly rightwards, finishing along a very thin crack.

Thin crack with dubious peg at 3/4 height. Blind and fingery climbing. Gear is poor, don't fall.

FA: B.Hall, H.Moloney & P.Stejskalova, 2011

Climb the groove Right the start of Peg Legs then step right using the undercuts until you can reach up to positive holds and climb boldly to the top.

FA: E McLoughlin & J Healy, 10 Nov 2020

On right side of Upper Tier, look up to see very thin vertical crack with useful looking steps scattered either side on the way up.
