This is the furthest left of the walls and has one really tricky dyno on it.
Problems:
- Footsie (V1): Traverse rightwards along the wall at mid height. Finish up the arete.
- Cromlech Dyno (V4) (F.A Rob Sanderson + pals): From a good hold at about chest height, dyno up to the jutting block at the top of the wall
- Sun in My Eyes (V0+): Sit start. Launch straight up the arete on great holds.

OverBlock Wall
To the right of 'Blocked Wall Right is a corner with a pool at its base pretty much all the time. Just around the corner from this is a corner with a blocked overhand on its left arete.
Problems:
- Limited Options (V3)*:Traverse a crack at about thigh height, then move left to a good jug with feet
on a small edge at the base of the arete. Move under the overhang on small holds and catch the far left side of
the wall. Big move up to a crimp and then top out.
