V7 | ★★★ Spunk Extension
Sit start. Climb Spunk up to the crimp rail and continue up the Arête to the the top. The stand start to this is a 2 bolt climb (Spunky Monkey 27), but the whole line starting from the sit can easily be bouldered with a pad or two.

V7 | Wheel of the Flies
Adds some big moves on pockets to the start of FFOF. Start at the back of the cave, perched on a boulder which appears to support the roof boulder (not quite, there is a 5mm gap).
