Better than it looks. Stand-start in the middle of the overhang matched on okay holds and feet high. Get up to the big block and mantle above this to finish up the slab above. FA: Ian Thorpe, 31 Oct 2020 | Lukenya | |||
V3 | ★ The jammings are coming
Interesting problem with potential for varying jams and holds. Low sit start to establish, avoiding the boulder to left for whole problem, otherwise quality and difficulty is massively compromised. FA: Mark Haworth | Lukenya | |||
V0 | ★★ Raphael

V2 | ★ Michelangelo
Highball. Start as for Leonardo, but then move right to exit through the right side of the overhang, without using the arete for hands or feet. FA: Sven, 2020 | Lukenya | |||

{US} V3 | ★★ Sarcophagus
Start from the Sarcophagus chalk mark, and move almost directly up. It gets easier, but a lot headier near the top. You can relax once you've finished!

V2 | Repeat the Sending Joy
Stand start on lowest possible holds facing each other, both have 90 degree corners and the left hand is small and sharp. Find your way up and across the ridge line to the top. Top out as far left as you can without getting stuck in the thorns. FA: Schunk | Lukenya | |||
{US} V5 | ★★ Lost Skin
A pleasingly aesthetic line, though the start hold is very tough on the skin. Stand-start with left hand on an incut hold low on the arete and right hand on a higher very sharp and small crimp. Bump up the left hand and get feet higher before going up to the decent hold just right of the arete, and from there to top on okay holds. FA: Luca van Enckevort, 15 Oct 2022 | Lukenya | |||
