Thrutch your way up the chimney at the back of the short, narrow gully, at the left hand end of the wall.

Instead of heading off left after second bolt (as per the guide) to join 'Spontaneous Combustion', continue straight up on good edges to a high bolt near the water groove then onto chains. It doesn't change the grade, probably about gr. 16, buts its a more direct finish, straight up to chains, and may add a star. Feels similar to 'Tewkesbury'.

FA: Al Robertson, 2004

Well protected sport route. Follow the line of carrots and fixed hangers, the final one being shared with Mirror of Stone DF directly to the RH DBB (looking up).

FA: Philip Armstrong & Chris Armstrong, 1985

Undulations into the scoop and slab above. 4 RB to DRBB. Originally had only one bolt in the scoop (2nd bolt).

Freshly brushed and retrobolted with permission Jan 24
