I'm not so sure Chris. With the possibilities of following the red lines in a downwards - as well as an upwards - direction, there could be 7 or 8 routes. If someone exited right on that crack up the bulge, we'd be looking at a dozen or more routes here. It's amazing what a 10m rock will yield - blood from a stone, with a bit of lateral thinking.

Jeez yese are good crÃƒÂ¡ic. This is a very short wall and on that particular day Noel and I did different variation starts just for fun. More bouldering than anything. There is one climb and all variation starts lead into the groove.

Surely this should be logged as 4 separate routes?

4 seperate routes? Not at all, one route with variation starts
