Gritstone Block 1 / 4
  • Layback the boss (RH) and crack (LH) to place yourself in the Niche, curve into the top out and be prepared for a rounded top. Another bad landing.
  • SDS: Do something clever with your foot to conquer the overhang and wall. Avoid the plinth for your right foot.
  • SDS just right of Footlocker. Pull out to short diagonal crack then up to a break. Keep going straight above to easy ground.
  • Climb the slab through the plaque and veer left to top out the roof. The roof Direct would be far harder and require a good group of spotters!

  • A steady warm up until the top out.
  • Steady and pleasant moves to a hard top (where the grade is earned). Bad landing!

  • The jam is unnecessary but available if you’re into that kind of thing.
  • SDS. Limited description for this online and in older guides. One presumed that it takes on the left side of the overhangs here without use of the wall where Beagle Flake is.
  • SDS just right of right of Teacakes. UP wall using undercuts and crimps to the break. Right to top-out past mega-jug.
