Start up jumbled rock to reach a bolt, move up along the left side of a small roof (crux) and then continue past two more bolts next to a shallow left-facing corner to the anchors.

The name comes from the swirly rock that's found high on the route.

Wanders up the face taking the path of least resistance. Sparse gear but the climbing is very easy.

Easy climbing on the right side of the crack area leads to a sizeable roof.  Follow the discontinuous cracks to a block below the roof.  Pass over the block; one last piece of gear can be placed at the top of the crack as it turns the roof.  After pulling onto the roof, clip a bolt and finish the crux roof.  Easy face climbing past one more bolt leads to a chain anchor, shared with Neils not Young Anymore and Chivas Regal.  Rappel to descend.

Start as for Loch Ness but continue on the ramp to the first bolt of the farthest right bolt line.  Use the zigzag ramp to follow up the white rock, right of the brown water streak.  The crux is found passing an overlap, protected by the fourth bolt.  Climb through the fractured rock to gain the arete.  Follow the arete up and left to chain anchors, shared with Bonnie Brae.  Rappel to descend.

Start up the right-slanting ramp to the first bolt.  A couple mantles through the white rock will bring you to the third bolt, protecting a crux on very thin holds.  Continue up the fractured dark rock above, past another bolt and into an alcove.  The headwall above requires some movement back and forth, passing two more bolts.  Finish at a bolted chain anchor near the top of the west face of the arete.  Rappel to descend.

and then cut right passing along the left side of a block before surmounting the roof in twin "V" cracks that split the roof. Continue up easier terrain to the anchors.

Start about 10 to the right of Neils not Young Anymore and climb up and left, clipping that climbs first bolt.  Move up to the right to make the second clip.  Passing this bolt is perhaps the crux, an awkward move using an undercling and a flat sloper, although its hard to tell as most of this climb is awkward and has several clips from awkward stances (except for taller climbers).  Continue up and left across the dark, fractured rock and pull over the headwall.  This is more technical than the lower crux but straight forward.  Continue over easy ground to chain anchors, shared with Bagpipes & Ale and Neils not Young Anymore.  Rappel to descend.

Start at the high point at the base of the wall.  Follow the seam up and right through the dark rock to the first bolt.  Move up and left to the negative headwall.  The crux comes at the fifth bolt, a reachy move with nothing for the feet.  Once over the bulge, clip the last bolt and cruise to the anchors shared with Bagpipes & Ale and Chivas Regal.  Rappel to descend.
