Rockfax Description
Often used as a descent route but also worthwhile as a beginners' route. Start at the toe of the slab and ascend to its tip - not much gear. A couple of short awkward corners complete the route. The right edge is even easier. © Rockfax

βeta: Getting off the ledge halfway up via the corner is pretty bold for the non-lanky-man-sized - looked like a step up onto the face from top of the boulder behind, but a big step up and unprotected! (If there is gear I couldn't reach it). Cheated and went up on the left but no way that move was Mod - would even question that one move being Diff. | ||

βeta: Bit of a cakewalk, and definitely more of a Mod than a Diff, didn't bother with a rope or pro for my 2nd gritstone "lead" | βeta? | |

βeta: Very hard to protect so could be quite scary as a first lead. But then again, if Black Hawk Right Hand is Diff, this is surely only Mod?! | βeta? | |
