2   5b    Pull up on the pocket left of the arete continue up the wall to a delightful finishing hold.
3   5b    The left hand arete

5   5b    Sitting start at the base of the 'slash' pull up with right hand on the obvious hold. reach left to either the good hold, or the sloper (harder - 5c) and continue up the pocketed slab to the top.
6   5b    Same start as the previous problem, pulling onto the slab using the arch for hands.
7   5b    Just left of the right edge. Pull onto the wall and straight up to the top.
