Marks roof - gardoms

Steep rounded roof work into an awkward rounded slopey/mantle horrorshow finish, doesn't exactly reek of swiss to me, quite the opposite.
Yes the RH is very grit, I meant the LH across the flake is more Swiss.

Are we just talking angular holds, steep, crimps, basic as fuck here? Snatch, Huffys roof, perfect day direct, stump hole, happy campus, river of life?
Last time I looked SH had a tramp in residence under it, complete with daily fire.
He is still there, bit of religous graffiti as well on the walls for extra weirdness

Yesterday (i.e. Christmas day) lunchtime there was a Mercedes parked at the side of the road near the cavern and people heading up to it with an Addis box each of what I assume was festive food & drink.  :-\ No idea whether this was tramp-related or not!
