Upper Tier Boulders
Starting from left to right.
Coopers block
This block is found on the far left hand end of the boulders. It is the last boulder(right on the path) so you can not miss it.
Shuffler                           V6 **
A:
A bum start off the undercuts and a hard slap up for flake/jug.Finish with a cruel pull and mantle.If it feels desperate then you are doing it wrong.(see here).

B: Flake and mantle           V2 *
A harder than it looks mantle via the flake and runnel moving rightwards.
C:
The gritstone thug          V7 **
Pretty much the same as the last one but with smaller holds and more technical finish.Start using a flake/sloper.A low start is  V8.A problem just R is of the same grade and style
D: Mikes Mantle                 V9 **
From a very low start under the roof.Right hand in pocket with toe jam.R hand on sloper on lip then pull out to gain arete and a deperate finish using a crafty knee bar to gain jugs.
E:
Grand Theft                V10 ***
A new addition.Start from the far left handside on the arete(bum start).Make a desperate traverse R across the lip on shite slopers to reach the starting hold of gritstone thug.Finish with a ball busting mantle! Good conditions essential.
Joes Arete boulder
This block is situated on the path and has a brilliant arete and a flat pocketed wall just to the left.
joes Arete                     V 3 ***

Joe browns classic is very good and very polished!watch out.The sit start is V6

The same arete but using the even smaller set of holds marked(1)on pic.Turn this into an undercut to reach the top.
C:
Mean ol' bastard          V 9  ***
From a sit start L in big pocket R on thin flake Make a desperate pull to a poo flake/layaway and then move up and left to dink and a dyno finish!Phew. It is possible to finish out R(Andi T finnish) by crossing over to distant edge but is slightly harder.
D:
Nadins mega Trav      V 10 ***
Done in the early 90's and still unrepeated!Start in big high pocket and traverse R just below the top on small holds to a Mega finish using a layaway and tiny brick edge.This should gain you the break and arete out R.Stay low !The top is off limits at all times!
There are loads of eliminates to be found on this wall to keep you busy.
