yeah, there's a climb just to the left of the splitter (frolic - 9) on carrots that goes at maybe 13/14, no info on it anywhere I can find - the climb to the left of frolic thats written up as 3m left is a 17, this one isn't that. It's not too bad for an easy bolted route.

In the thunderfart area, you can scramble up to the block up the back gully to the left (facing the cliff) for a kick-ass belay for noodle (15) which I think is hell fun at the grade, from there I think it would be feasible to set a top-rope on the others there (the 17s & 18s)

and of course, mezzaluna.
