There's about half dozen-ish routes up there. The ones Ican roughly remember, range from HVS to E3. The one with the thread I think was the hardest one? The route up the groove on the right hand side (has an old nut in a crack )was about HVS. The main feature up the centre of the crag, up the flake had a commiting move on the blank section at the top (E2?). The only topo list I saw was in the old new route book in Parisella's cafe, done by W. Roberts back in about '94(I think it went missing years ago)There were a couple of stakes at the top to help with belaying. All this is from memoy (so don't trust my grading)and I think its for each person to rediscover this little crag from time to time and have a play on it. Can't help you with bouldering grades I'm afraid, but the routes were quite good in their own little way. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?
