Forget the routes, relative rubbish .... the long bouldering traverse on the west side is far more worthwhile. Depending on your skill level, you can either use the large breaks/horizontals between the blocks as well as the holds, incorporate the top of the blocks, or you can limit yourself to only the holds on the face of the bluestone blocks. A vertical challenge, crimpy and with slopes! Great endurance training and quite technical. It will teach you body position.
If you only use the holds on the face holds on the blocks, and no finger/hand jambs in the slots, it is quite difficult. Probably around 23 left to right, bit harder R to L as the crux is at the left end. A continuous lap R to L and back again is a challenge worth the effort and training!
And it works the feet.
