4 - Farewell to my Arms

E3 5c
Length: 12m
A Millar R Moore (4/5/00)
A fine climb up the obvious steep left trending crack on the left side of ceasefire wall. After a few easier moves up the left side of the obvious small pedestal, commit yourself strenuously leftwards under the crack and struggle upwards on consistently poor jams but with brilliant friend placements till the jams improve towards the top.

5 - Kneecapped
VS 4c
Length: 10m
R Moore, S Hamilton (18/4/99)
Moving right from 'Unequivocal Ceasefire II', around the corner, there are huge leftward facing flakes at three-quarters height. About 3m left of this, locate a line of steep holds (including a thread) on a bulge in the wall. Strenuous climbing leads to ledge (and an awkward mantleshelf) and up a crack to the top.

Right of the above-mentioned huge flakes, is a deep Right trending crack on the upper half of the wall. This is accessed by steep climbing on jugs, move left, and follow the crack to the top (crux).

8 - Trigger Finger
VS 5a
Length: 8m
A Millar R Moore (l4/5/00)
Climbs the lovely pink quartzy streak on the right side of ceasefire wall using ledge on the right. An easier start up the groove just right again is possible. A short but worthwhile climb on good solid rock.

9 - Misty Mountain Hop
HS 4b
Length: 8m
J Frazer, S Hamilton (14/5/00)
Takes the groove right of gully/groove on right side of ceasefire wall. A great little hop up on to a good foot hold leading into a nice lay-backing crack. An awkward move left up and into the chimney to good holds and gear. Move on up to the Elephant's bum lay-backing the crack and using good footholds on the right, mantling up to the top.

S 4a
Length: 20m
Alan Tees, Brian Johnston, Bill Magowan 1/06/10
Two metres right of "Unequivocal Ceasefire" climb (unsurprisingly) rightward trending holds up the middle of the wall, until, just less than half way, you come to the crutcx.  A bold move up and rightward should do the business. Continue dilightfully directly up, using a couple of lovely jugs, en route. Iris is a star, maybe two, but not everybody in the country will agree with that!
