New easy sport routes opposite Gallery cave

I spied a new bolted route on the juggy grey wall directly opposite Weaveworld at The Gallery. It climbs an obvious right facing wide corner (offwidth then chimney) with three bolts (one u-bolt and 2 FHs). It finishes at a double u-bolt lower-off - with mallion. The climb is about grade 16. It is actually quite a fun route - you can climb the face to the right of the corner on good incut holds. You only need to do a few easy chimney moves near the end.

Does anyone know the first ascent details?

The Educator  15m 16
Climb obvious right facing wide corner or the face right of the corner passing 1 u-bolt and 2 fixed hangers. At the 2nd fixed hanger move right to doubly bolt lower off.
First ascent: Ben Hawthorne and Doug Williams October 2004

Definently.

Two easyish routes go up the cracks to the right then up a slab, to a little overhang. You must remember though, that a precedent has been set and under no circumstances are naturally protected routes allowed on this wall.
