| West Buttress |
|
|
| The pod and thin crack left of Old Ash Crack is climbed to an awkward move right. Continue more easily over the bulge above. It is also possible to move left at the top of the crack and bridge out to a pedestal (VS 5a and not as good). |

| Central Buttress |
|
|
| Climb flakes up the front of the pedestal right of Patties Route to a vegetated ledge. Finish up the thin crack in the wall on the left, just right of the crack of Patties Route. |

| Far East Buttress |
| To the right of East Buttress is a buttress with a prominent juggy arete up the front. |
|
| Avoid the huge roof at the start by stepping onto it from the left, then climb the arete on jugs. |

|
| The wall to the right of the arete of Jugged Air. Start at the big overhang at the base of the buttress. Climb a short groove to the right of the roof to a terrace and small square cave just right of Jugged Air. Starting left of the cave, climb the wall slightly rightwards to a flake on the lip of the bulge above and use this to gain holds above and so the top. A nice wee pitch. |

|
| As for Gordon Bennett to the square cave, but climb the wall right of the cave to the bulge, then move right and awkwardly up a short right-facing groove. Not as good |

| Far Far East Buttress |
| The furthest right Buttress has a huge roof overhanging a large free standing flake. |
|
| Climb a chimney to gain the top of the flake and step onto the slab under the roof which is avoided on the left via a vegetated groove ? pretty dire. |

|
| Short but spectacular. Gain a precarious standing position on the flake from the right and so reach a hold on the lip of the roof. Heave ho! |
