Approach

Route description

Black Slab near Naja

1) 4b, 36m. Climb up and right to gain a crack. Climb up looking out for the next crack.
Then pull onto a scooping slab that sounds hollow, but seems solid. Climb slab
without pro to a good ledge and belay.
2) 4a, 60m. Climb up the crack behind the belay onto less steeper ground. There will be a
shallow corner to the left. The climb continues up to a steepening then the crack heads
up and right and through an overlap. Continue to the highest point of the slabs.

Descent

Walk down left of the back of the crag to where the gully steepens to a large boulder. Blue abseil tat (it will need replacing) and krab to a 27m abseil to the base of the crag
