Opposite the Policeman Buttress at Dovestones, an obvious boulder sits "aslant the brook".
Exit Ophelia climbs the centre of the slab by a smearing sequence which eases with height. Its a bit nervy with the prospect of falling in the stream, especially when you're told that "you're not sitting on my fookin' leather seats if you go in".
Great fun!

A more minor addition climbs the easy right arete at Font 3 - Envious Sliver.

Is there much on that very left hand boulder?

Didn't look tbh. Crap landing; probably grim, dirty rock.

Nice
I reckon arm bands would have been a better choice than a helmet (certainly as far as the photo is concerned!)
