Grey Slab

Adjacent Routes
<< Central Rib < Hope  |  Grey Arete > Faith >>

Delicate, sustained an excellent. The route is not well protected and is prone to seepage on the initial crack and upper crux - care required if at all damp, especially on the upper part of P2. Once known as Lost Boot Climb
1) 4a, 34m. Start up the corner for 20m then trend left across the bubbly slab to a rib, balance up this to a small stance and high belay under the overlap
2) 4b, 50m. Climb through the bulge then move left and head up the vague rib to the overlap high above. Jig left and right through this and finish up the final slab, carefully avoiding any wetness.
