At the main corner arete, stand start with little jugs above the low, slight bulge at the base of the face.

 Reach out to the enormous iron lobes that run up the arete. Follow them to the top which is an equally giant iron rung. Top it out.

Stand start low on the face at the slight bulge (above the undercut) with small juggy pockets. Climb into the middle of the face (don't trend right to the arete) and climb up direct through the thin iron cut-out edges. Continue to the top iron rung at the lip to the easy top out.

To the right of the right-most face of Ironside (just left of the stone bridge) find the low hueco. Sit start at the bottom of the hueco with whatever little holds you want. Work up to undercling the hueco and follow thin iron crimps to the good top to top out.

To the left side of the face, stand start above the sandy section on the crack. Follow good holds and crack direct to the big iron rung at the top.

Look for the crack surrounded by iron (shaped a bit like an hourglass) and climb into that crack. Top out above.

This has two main faces and an excellent arete made up of the thickest chocolate iron band you've ever grappled.
