03 - Beam Me Up Paddy-Joe
*
HS 4b
Length: 15m
F McCloskey, R Gallagher (13/11/99)
Start at the left end of the niche at the overhangs (about 2m right of `Two Paghals'). Climb steeply up initial short wall, pull out left onto spike/platform. Move right into thinner crack (other is loose and needs cleaned) and bridge up to get into the easier angled corner above. Good route, good gear.

Start at the right hand side of the front face, right of the cave, at the third of the corners. Rise up and traverse leftwards, trying your best to avoid any difficulties, until you can swing out left on a spike above the cave and finish up the manky gully.

This takes the central spidery cracks on an obvious slab on the approach to far Easter Wall grid 955844.  It is about half way in.  Friction on the rock is amazing!

Length: 15m
Bill Magowan, A Tees 12/03/14
East of Far Easter Crag, just over a small stream is another outcrop, now to be known as Emelyn Butt grid 957889.  Gift Aid takes the cracked arete up its left hand side.  Easy, but delightful rock.
