I'm making a list of slab/arete climbs from 6Cish to 7Cish to work my way through, since I've started training at the wall but would still like to climb outside sometimes on rest days. Looking for non-strenous stuff and nothing too high since they will all probably be done by headtorch. Already got Spring Slab and C3PO at the roaches, anyone other ideas? Cheers.

Spinal Slab and Dry Whit at RHS, always thought the former was nails though

[bigtuboflard]

Satin, Honorary Caley at Stanage?

Beauty at High Neb, Stanage; everything on Nightmare Slab + Shirley's Shining Temple at Count's Buttress, Stanage; How Sure? at Howshaw Tor.

[bigironhorse]

Another shout for Beauty, its great. Tombstone at Froggatt was pretty good if I remember rightly.

[B0405413]

Some good stuff here, thanks. I'm guessing the stuff around joe's slab at Froggatt would also be good.

nothing too high

everything on Nightmare Slab + Shirley's Shining Temple at Count's Buttress, Stanage

These are quite high, at least to top out maybe the difficulties are low down?  But if you're happy with them then Sithee Direct, Black and Decker, Torture Garden and DIY are all decent highballs too.

Satin, Honorary Caley at Stanage?

Also at the Plantation the problems right of Crescent Arete are realy good & Deliverance Traverse is a  stern test of footwork.

[bigtuboflard]

I did think that Nai when posting hence the question mark, guess it depends on each persons definition of highball but you're right if those are acceptable there are other good options too. I wouldn't call Honorary Caley highball though, but Satin can be a bit.


Edit: just realised you were talking about Andy's suggestions not mine......

Not those btol, although I guess Satin is tricky having to traverse off, I meant that Nightmare Slab and Shirleys could be considered high and a bit tricky for trying in the dark.

[dave]

Yeah I'd not be getting on shock horror if I was out by headtorch wanting to avoid highballs.

There's a decent tricky slab and a slabby arete on the block behind Flatworld at Baslow.
Slab immediately left of Pebble Arete at Stanage (tight line, stay honest).
El Regallo... at Burbage West
Tiny Slab problems at Burbage North.
Acid Reign at Rivelin.
Slab left of Pock Man at Burbage South.
Slab right of Brads Arete at Illegal/Seagul Tor.
Direct start to Downhill Racer, Froggatt (jump off).

[Duma]

second the slab behind Flatworld
Beauty is ace but a bit of a trek in the dark if you're just out for the eve?

[andy popp]

Sorry, didn't see that about height/headtorches in the OP.

[tomtom]

Direct start to DH racer is well good (what Dave said)

Torture Garden =

Racking my brains for that 'non strenuous 7c slab' .....

[Will Hunt]

Does Bobba Fett get done much? I've done C3PO a couple of times but never really looked at that one.

[B0405413]

Is Boba Fett the one that climbs above the water hole? It looks pretty good but a good spotter would come in handy. C3PO is class.

[lagerstarfish]

traverse under deliverance is a slab and lends itself to being lamp lit (and doesn't get too high)

[nai]

Play Hard at Trackside?

Low, good landing, easy access....

Bob arête if the one above the pool. It's easier than the rest on that slab, but you need to flash it unless there's a big freeze or a drought. Bobafett is just left. Get two pebbles high up and level with each other and press them out as far as you can.

Two more slabs:
Slabotomy and miles' slab. In my opinion miles' slab is harder than anything listed so far.

[user deactivated]

What's the consensus with the grade of slabotomy? I've seen it listed as anywhere between 7a+ and 7C

[Andy B]

Slabotomy has two slightly different starts. It was originally done starting on the right/directly, but if you start slightly left and a step up the bank it makes it easier. I've only done it the easier way, so I'm not sure how eliminate the original start is.

Another good slab is Force Nine. Harder than most slabs of its grade in my opinion, probably due to pebble loss. I reckon it's one of the better ones.

[JamieG]

Couple others down roaches direction that might fit the bill

Clever skin - Baldstones
Stall - Gibb Tor
The slab left of C3PO - Roaches (edit - saw you already had spring slab, oops)

Also,

Elephant slab
Winsome (although this is high and really hard!)
Fish arete - Not slabby at all, but probably one of the best arete problems at the 6c-7a grade

I've only done the low right start which climbs well independently but I thought it was a tricky reachy-ish move of a broken pebble but quite hard to grade. So wondered what others thought. Great problem though.

[Nigel]

RE Slabotomy - I don't remember anything about different starts, it was a good while ago. Don't remember what grade I thought at the time either, other than the way I did it was definitely not 7c. As in nowhere near, def nearer 7a+. Great problem.
