Best descent is probably as for Donutland, then walk about 200m towards PC until you hit the most disgusting section of choss leading to horribly enormous choss rooves way up high, noting with surprise the ringbolts at the bottom of all the cheese. Towards the left end there is a section of good hard rock about 10m high and 20m long. One route has been established and two projects are under way - keep off! Further right is an ok looking finger crack behind a flake, which leads to chossland. A direct start to lower offs has been bolted - presumably the flake itself is still up for grabs! Some single ringbolts are tagged further L, having been callously placed off the ground without any higher bolts or lower offs - a pretty scummy way to reserve a "project"!! (or is it a traverse, with the routes themselves still up for grabs?? ;-)
* Slimy Ken�s Knob 9m 22 (RP)
Not bad. Start under the obvious knob just left of the bulgy start - it's the left hand route on the small wall. From two slightly opposing slopers under bulge, slap to a rounded hold. Pull through to Ken�s knob, then clip 2nd RB from break. Reach high for sloper, then pull through more slopers to cave (clip 3rd RB from here). Sidepull out of cave to final jugs, DRB.

Barbie�s Bitchin� �bout the Salt 9m 20 (TR)
Start 2m R of SKK. Steeply through poor sidepull to break, step slightly left, then up on slopy crimps to cave. Awkward to holds above cave, then step L to DRB on SKK. FA, A. Duckworth '99.
About 6m R of BBbtS is Teflon Barbie, 24.
