Arnie Boulder
This is the long overhanging boulder at the top and on the extreme left hand end of the escarpment as you approach the crag. Not easily identifiable when the bracken is high in the summer.
  Predator 6c     SS 1m right of the extremem left end of the boulder. Traverse rightwards to finish with both hands on the crimp at the start of I'll Be Back
  Arne Saknussemm 7a     SS. Actually a lying down start with feet on the back. Using two poor pockets under the roof gain the lip dynamically, then use toe hooks to reach better holds above and the finish.
