Under Rockes   Go past the main wall, go further around 200m,on the left at the bottom of the little river, looked at it last week, came back yesterday to try 4 routes, managed to do 3. we think 2 are 5a/5b and one 4b/4c. See photo's, is it a new crag?

Added later :- starting left of the crag, the obvious finger crack in the corner.
"no chalk" 5a/5b{waiting for confirmation)  elbow mantelshelf at the top (no tree pulling) , 1st pascal[on sight,classic belay].

On the right side of the crag the obvious crack.
"deep penetration" 4b/4c (waiting for confirmation), better bring a spare pair of socks, and don't miss the crossing. 1st  pascal .... on sight, classic belay, Tim Alistair.
 

On the right of the last boulder on the face "the shark"5a/5b (waiting for confirmation) Starting from bottom, a must. Very enjoyable series of moves. 1st  Pascal ....on sight, classic belay.

Bring a 10m long sling for "no chalk, good tree at the top of penetration, same sling for "the shark"

Please click on the photos to enlarge.  Thanks
