Dates: 1 March to 31 July

Reason: Nesting Birds

Only applies to the routes on the rarely climbed and loose south face. 
73m, 4 pitches. Good variations on the first two pitches of the parent route. Start 2m right of East Ridge beneath twin cracks.
1) 17m, 4b. Follow the twin cracks steeply to an easing before a wide ledge.
2) 17m, 4b. The crack in the centre of the back wall leads initially via polished holds to the ridge and the traditional finish of East Ridge.

βeta: Pitch 2 seemed outrageous for HS, even ignoring the polish. After downclimbing and reattempting the crux 3 or 4 times, ended up cleaning the gear and taking the arete pitch.

βeta: Lots of polish on second pitch, feels hard for the grade!
