Grotto Slab is a popular, worthwhile and very mild beginner’s climb and Heather Wall is one of the most popular routes around. Along with Crack and Corner, it is so popular that at weekends you will probably have to join the queue. The rest of the climbs in this area see less attention than those just a little further left along the crag. Guidebook page 184.
