1. The Freaks Come Out - 20m E4,6a *
The overhanging back wall of the cwm. Start from a slight ledge on the left (west) wall of the underlying cavezawn, 3m left of the chimney line. From the first break move left to gain a handrail just over the lip of the second bulge. Swing left and pull up to a leftward-trending pocket line, which is followed to a second pocket line on the left TR. Launch up the leaning headwall, TR and swing left to the lip to exit leftwards. A pre-placed belay rope is strongly advised.

To the east of the Cwm are a series of slabs, which extend as far as White Pillar, where the rock becomes well defined again. These routes are tidal.
