Robbie McBirney, June 19732 Rebuilding Oscar 25 2Start up Silver Airman, then tackle thebuttress above before finishing leftwardsup the lichen. An ugly piece of work. Ton Snelder, October 19863 Smash and Grab 25 1The overhanging groove leads up to a wildmove rightwards and broken ground. Rick McGregor, February 19834 Wendy Kroy 26 1Unpleasant.
