[A couple of old Stagers at Simonsde , 2 kb]A nicely varied classic. Cross the slab rightwards just above the overhangs (delicate) then climb up to the fine crack which gives a fittingly fine finish. A Direct Start is possible from the grass slope below Chockstone Crack via a groove and short traverse, at HS 4b. Photo on page 295. © ROCKFAX

The slab can be protected with a cam in the flake (and a well secured belayer) if you're not particularly short.

The 4c slab is unprotected. Don't kid yourself; a fall off here will hurt. Therefore HVS. No debate needed.

done the proper way - starting across the slab. A fun climb, not too hard, but rather exposed until at the base of the crack - especially on a windy day.
