1 - Double Whymper (& Chips)
S 4aLength: 15m Alan Tees, Michael ?, Valli Schaffer 26/05/07 Lower down the gully there is an impressive wall with a pillar/corner on its right hand side. There are two sets of attractive cracks high on this wall. This route starts below the right set of cracks, goes less than half way up, "Whymps Out" and traverses left past the other set, to find an easier crack just left of this. Peter Cooper led to the left set of cracks, but did the same. It was wet and greasy you understand! View Route Edit Route Upload a new photo for this route | |||
BS1d/ - From a Whymper to a Scream
Length: 18m Michael Hassan, Peter McConnell 30/05/09 This route takes the left set of obvious twin cracks. Move up with no problems to small overhang. Pull up over this using good holds. Climb up crackline and bridge between both lines when it splits (crux). Good hold at top of left crack. Clamber over top using vegetation at hand.

HS 4bLength: 12m Peter McConnell, Alan Tees, Valli Schafer 26/05/07 At the upper end of the gully, the fine left hand wall changes direction slightly, forming a shallow arete.
