Hugh's Horror - Alternate Start 5.9, 12m *

Hugh's Horror Direct 5.8, 34m ***
Chimneying, solid hand jamming, and a delicate finish. Start to the right of the outside corner right of Inner Limit, at the base of a chimney. * Pitch 1, 12m: Climb the chimney to a big ledge. * Pitch 2, 22m: Jam up the inside corner crack to the sloping arete.

Hugh's Horror 5.7, 20m **

No One Nose 5.6, 21m **
A delightful route named after the obvious "nose" of rock 2/3 of the way up the route. Scale the slabs and crack below the large black streak. Climb the large crack right of the black streak to finish, occasionally moving onto faces on either side of the crack.
Peter Aitchison, John McKenzie - 1973
