A couple of decent new highballs on the neglected Quarry Buttress opposite Railway Slabs.

Palooka 6a+
Direct to the hanging arête of the old route Physical Graffiti and the climb it on the left side with handful of the arête and a committing rockover.   PG takes the right side.

Southpaw 6a
A line to the right of PG linking an edge on the steep wall to a diagonal crack.  It eliminates the tree at the top.  Steep, better than it looks.

Nice one Marc. Did you repeat PG while you were at it?

Cheers.  Must have walked, ran, biked past these hundreds of times.
PG was part of the plan but it showered shortly after doing these two. I took it as a sign to stop whilst ahead so packed up. 
PG is clean and added to these will make a good trio of highballs.
Will get back to do it sometime soon...it's not too far to go.
