Did a potential new finish to Andy's Arete up at the Roof of Mantels, Derwent Edges back when the weather was briefly nice. Do Andy's Arete up to the slopey hold on the lip (the hold above Jon Barton,s left hand in the photo of Andy's Arete in the guide.) from here traverse the lip left to top out at the jutting prow.

Might well have been done before, but its worth a look if you are up there.

Did the original and the left-hand finish today. Both very nice apart from the crusty rock at the start. I found the left-hand finish tricky as I'm not tall enough to keep my feet on the rail. It definitely adds a few good moves and an ungainly top-out (for me).

The long crux move to the slopey lip hold is a bit easier if you allow your right foot to drift onto the crusty rock very close to the ground. I avoided this which made both problems a bit eliminate but somehow better.
