New topo from guide

The main topo for Dark Side LH? Is this the final topo for this crag? Any more routes to go on here apart from those below?

It has to End Somewhere (6a) left of route 1: a slab trending leftwards to lower off.

5. Rawlinson End (5) worthwhile climbing up the wall to the shared belay

the extra routes are:

  • the red line right of ‘9’ is Darkdale (6a)
  • the red line left of 19 is actually the line of Will They’ (5) This is wrong? Will They is line 10 and there is no red line L of 19.
  • the red line right of ‘21’ is ‘In Starke CONTRAST’ (6b+)
  • the yellow line right of this is Totally Stark’ (6b+)
