Socrophiliac Buttress. 3 routes.
1. Mums Word 25m 20
Thin and runout. A #4 SLCD and some small TCUs are handy. Start at the slabby arête left of Socropophiliac. Up this for 12m to a gap and a thin horizontal crack. Head right along the crack almost into Socropophiliac then delicately to the ledge. Move left to the arête and over the bulge. Matthew Brooks, Daniel Brooks. 11/1/91
2. Socropophiliac 25m 9
Not as bad as the name would imply, but no world-beater either. Climb the short chimney at the left hand side of the outcrop. better: climb the obvious left-facing corner (mostly as a chimney) to exit left. Descent? Clive Parker, Lesley Kefford. 6/9/68

3. *High Society 27m 19
Start 4m right of Socropophiliac at a crack. Jam the crack to a break and go right over the bulge on the arête to a ledge. Move left along the ledge to a crack, up this to a short traverse into the top of Socropophiliac. Daniel Brooks, Matthew Brooks. 11/1/91
