Den Lane - Rake Wall
Some excellent climbing, slightly tarnished by some dirty finishes, nonetheless very worthwhile. Many of the routes trend left to finish at a bolted belay and abseil station directly above Midgebite Crack. Take care with any old fixed gear (i.e. pegs and threads) used for abseiling and back up if necessary.
8. Noah's Crack VS 4b, tackle the groove and layback to easier climbing, either finish straight up or over to the right.
Don't climb any further right than this, the fenced area is private property.
9. Sunset Crack VS 4c, from the large block ascend to the ledge, then up the crack to exit left under the flake, finish as for Noah's Crack.
10. Tony's Terror VS 4b, climb the steep groove, to a move right out onto the small slab, continue up the crack above to easier terrain and move right to a belay above the threads, ab off.
11. * Midgebite Crack HVS 5a, ascend the groove to a tricky exit out right, jam the easier crack above until a block is avoided on the left, pull up right to the stance, ab off.
12. ** The Popple HVS 5b, start just right of the memorial and climb the steep crack to a triangular niche, follow the thinner crack above to better holds and so to easier terrain, move left to reach the belay, ab off.
13. ** The Drooper E2 5c, bridge up to and climb over the overhang passing a peg to the bottom of the wider crack, follow this left to and finish up the Popple, ab off.
14. ** The Wilter E1 5b, climb the crack past the small overhang running up from the left side of the orange rock scar, finish more easily. Top out on this one with care. Descent back left (facing crag).
