19 Gumbys in the the cave Sport 30m

Couple of meanings to this name! Slabby arête, starts at the bottom of the Slab Valley. 30 metres up to ledge. Couple of options at the start.

12 Slab Valley access line Sport

Harder than it looks. Start up on the bouldery beginning and then easily up to a single ring bolt. From there straight up then veer right to 3 more bolts finishing on the ledge.

16 Chilean Gang Bang Sport

Climbing above the anchor of "Gumbys...".Veer right. The top can seep a little water after recent rain, so check it out from the valley.

16 ★ Masters Of The Sphincter Trad 3

Wait for a good weatherfine spell before heading into the chimney. Good pro and climbing but the start has a bit to be desired. Climb up to a secret belay ledge sshh don't tell. Aid out from under the chockstone and up via the crack. Small/ medium wires and medium cams. Either rap the route or walk over to the " Mantel Piece Theatre" rap chains.

FA: Callum Grant & Craig Buckland, 1998
