The Lamp 100m V,6*A Liddell and party, January 1988
A zig-zag line up the left side of Aladdin’s Buttress. Start at an open corner just right of the long rib of rock. Climb the open corner, some time moving onto the right wall, to its top. Go diagonally right on the obvious ramp to gain the large central bay. Take the diagonal fault leading left to easier ground and the top of the buttress and a choice of finishes.
George McEwan on The Prodigal Principal, Right-Hand Start
The Prodigal Principal 100m V,5G Reid and J Lyall, 19 November 1985
An ice route dependent on freeze–thaw for its formation. Start left of Doctor’s Choice at ice runnels going up slabs and ramps before moving leftwards to a snow bay where Doctor’s Choice is joined. Ice lines can also develop at either side of the usual first pitch, which give alternative starts. From the main bay climb the narrow chimney left of the big corner of Doctor’s Choice, a good pitch.
