The Messenger 80m V,6*

G Ettle and C Campell, 15 November 1991

Takes the obvious left-facing corner some 10m right of the previous routes. Climb the corner, pulling left past the obvious roof with difficulty (30m). Trend right into an open fault and climb this and then a steep right-facing corner (30m). Easier climbing leads to the top (20m).

Sharks Fin Soup 90m V,6

J Preston, G Ettle and I Taylor, 10 December 1999

Between the lines of The Message and Yukon Jack are two crack lines. The left one has an obvious huge flake at its foot (the right crack in Despot, V,7). Climb up onto this huge fin and up the crack line above. Continue in the same line to join The Haston Line and finish up that.

Yukon Jack 90m IV,5

M Sinclair and C Schiller, 30 December 1993

Takes the main right-facing corner in the lower slabs leading to the end of the diagonal fault of The Haston Line. It can ice up to give an amenable Grade III, but is usually a harder mixed pitch. Gain the obvious right-facing corner via a crack. Climb the corner and cross The Haston Line to the steep upper rocks and finish up a wide chimney in the same line.
