(E2 5a), Pull My Daisy (E2 5c) - the poor man's Dervish - up to Poetry Pink (E5 6a) and of course The Very Big and Very Small (8c+ - you disagree? You try it).

Access notes
Shorter, but a harder slog from the Vivian Quarry car park. Head up two sets of the rising rails and then around a path. Gently through the fence, scramble down scree and over stream to the Colossus area; around for the Slab. Or abseil rather than crossing the fence.

From Bus Stop, head to Dali's Hole and then take a meandering path R from the main path beside the pool.
