The Precariat

Length/grade/stars: 22m E3 5c *

Start location:

The wall between Prommie Bastards and Bristletail Suicide.

Pitch descriptions:

Climb to a tiny overlap at 5m (good small cams) then make some precarious moves to the larger overlap. Climb this on good holds, but with limited protection, and finish easily

Additional info:

This route has missed the deadline for the new South Coast & Lizard guide; unfortunately the description refers to routes which are only described in that guide , so they won’t make sense until it appears. Top roped it first.

Swing to the Right

Length/grade/stars: 2m S

Pitch descriptions:

This is just a variation on Socialist Saunter. Climb that route for 5m, swing right on huge flakes, and finish easily up the slab.
