Hueco wall at Cratcliffe

Does the Right hand side top out, or is once you've stood up in the big hole the problems complete? As far as i can work out the hard move is getting your left hand limbs into the hueco, or is there another way to do it? When were they first done by John Allen?

It tops out with a pull onto the wide break. The left one finishes with the same move too. Both are good and pretty soft at 7a+ unless you are too short to reach.

I reckon there are three good problems up through the huecos, plus the r-l diagonal line finishing up the arete, and Percy's start on the left (the peak's hardest 6c+?) which can be linked into any of them.
The three all mantel onto the ledge and then crawl/ grovel off right, though the left-hand one, Chapel of rest, really needs to finish leftwards - the holds are there....

JA did em in in '86. twenty years ahead of the game.
