This climbs the next line of weakness between Sensitive Crimes and Karma. Start on the wall right of the sloping ramp of Sensitive Crimes on small holds. Make sustained moves to a reasonable rest (F0.25). Climb the broken cracks above to a flared crack(R8). Climb flared crack to top.

A Tees, P Smith (13/11/99)
On the lower, steeper wall,of two situated between the Ceasefire Wall and Teardrop Wall, this route takes the most obvious set of cracks at the left-hand side of the highest part of the wall. Good sustained climbing, but can be wet.

A sustained little route taking the weakness a few meters left of Glenbrittle Cracks. The crux is probably reaching the obvious flared crack below the top and it takes a good 2 friend.

E2 5c
Length: 11m
A Millar, S Hamilton (4/5/00)
Climbs the two vague lines of weakness right of Glenbrittle Cracks. Start delicately rightwards along obvious weakness for the feet, then up past a surprising hold to a thin stance (and good gear in discontinuous left crack). Using holds in the left crack place a good double zero quadcam high in the right weakness or awkwardly place a poorish 2 friend high in the left. Commit yourself entirely to the right weakness and from a good starting hold climb it direct (crux) to good break a meter below the top. Move up, not without difficulty, to finish.

S Hamilton, A Millar (4/5/00)
A fine climb up the vague groove with good thin breaks on right side of the wall. Gooey at the top, definitely so without a double zero quadcam.
