Pot of Gold 90m V,6**

J Lyall and S Spalding, 26 November 1988

An interesting if escapable route up the edge of the buttress right of The Message. Climb the first pitch of The Message until a traverse right gains cracks and a narrow chimney on the buttress edge. Climb up until near The Message then climb up right to a large ledge. Climb the wall above by shallow corners and flakes to finish up a shallow chimney.

C Forrest, G Ettle and A Nisbet, 6 January 1991

Takes the deep red groove capped by an overhang and is high in the grade. Start as for The Message and climb into the groove. Follow this to a swing left below the roof and continue up a crack line to a ledge shared with Droidless (30m). Continue up the crack line (15m). Move left and climb walls and slabs to the plateau.

Droidless 85m VI,6*

C Forrest and G Ettle, 21 December 1990

The parallel crack line 3m right of the deep red groove of Mariella. It has a sustained first pitch. Start just on the right of Mariella and gain the main fault by a slanting corner just on its left, then follow the fault over the bulge to a ledge below parallel cracks (30m). Continue up the cracks, a difficult start, to an easing in angle in a bay below an obvious right-facing corner (20m). Climb the corner then easier ground (35m).
