Fallen block Slab 6a

Begin at the centre of the wall, just 2 metres left of the fallen block. Execute a mantel move upward, this will lead you to a challenging stand-up move. As you reach the top, shift your position towards the right of the overhanging birch, complete by topping out onto an earthy, heather-covered surface.

The Sandstone is very soft -- leading is not allowed. Most climbs are top-roped, and ropes should be extended over the edge and set up in a way such as to minimize the wear on the rock. Top-out and down-climb is preferred to lowering. Abseiling is, also, forbidden.
