The Black Slab Sector

by

A great introduction to some excellent slab climbing. And the addition of the wooden platforms at the base of the crag, makes this a very popular venue

Approach

From The Farm Crags, walk right, along the base of the rock, to reach the platforms and the crag.
The Nook Sector (routes 8,9 & 10): This sector lies immediately to the right of Black Slab Sector
