Great to get back on this one for the tick. Done as a warmup, and other than a tricky start it went pretty easily. As I said a year ago, this is good in that it's much more varied than the other slabs around it, though not ridiculously hard. The start is a tough sequence, but it's great once you crack it. Enjoy!

Oh god, this was terrifying. Up to 4th bolt then bailed!

3rd ascent of this great new route, one scary moment when a "handhold" broke off 3m above previous bolt not far from top. The start is probably closer to a grade 20-21 move.

More features and diverse climbing than the other slabs nearby. Hard off the starting boulder, followed by cool mind-boggling moves, then a hair-raising traverse onto a JUG! Don't get suckered into climbing too high before the traverse, or you'll be unable to climb out of the position like I was!

FFA. A great easier slab on the waterfall dome. A slab with biggish holds.
