| Broken Buttress (Delete all problems from this boulder to delete the boulder) | ||||||
| 5+ |

| 6C |
|

| 7A |
|

| 7B (hard) |
|
Crimp Shrimp | Sit start on right side of the wall on good holds, climb straight up via a tiny lefthand crimp. Slightly easier as a double dyno. | Edit | Delete | |
| 6C |
|
Snappy Wall | Right of the prow and flakes of the route Prowler is a short leaning wall. Climb this using big moves between snappy crumbling edges and flakes. Unerving. | Edit | Delete | |

| 7C |

Shirley's Shining Temple | On a slightly higher level, a small bay contains one of the hardest slabs in the peak. Really a route, but just about highball. Head upwards via a small cutaway. | Edit | Delete | |
| 6C |
