  2. Weird Science (22) [6B C]
  3. Bunsen Burner (24) [5B C]
  4. Static Patterns (29) [5B C]
  5. Nattrass Oxide (27) [5B C]

  1. Mindless Scientist (24) [5B C] - retrobolted.

  2. Weird Science (22) [6B C] - new anchors.

  3. Bunsen Burner (24) [5B C] - an extra bolt at the top.

  4. Static Patterns (29) [5B C] - extra bolt and new anchors.

  5. Nattrass Oxide (27) [5B C] The first bolt line as one reaches the face.
