With Barrel Buttress not described in Rockfax, this buttress no longer gets the traffic it once did. Routes have become somewhat overgrown, nevertheless a number of the classic lines remain clean and make a worthwhile outing. Flakey (HS**) and Nettle Crack (VS*) have some strenuous moves at the grade but are good value, however topping out of the 6m high Spider Wall (HS**?) is not to be recommended without a short diversion left to place gear in Straight Crack!
