Je mange une orange | 6A+ | Dublin | The Scalp | WarmupBoulder | Right to left traverse without the top of the warmup boulder and the big crescent feature on the left side. Top out on the far left side.

l'autre orange | 6B+ | Dublin | The Scalp | WarmupBoulder | Left to right traverse into "cream eggs" on the warmup boulder. with the exception of start and end the top is out. Crescent feature on the left side is also out.
