PREAMBLE

Opposite Yellow Wall and to the left of Eyeball Wall is a black slab. This must be one of the few cliffs in Britain to be threatened by a conglomerate cornice!

THE ROUTES

1. Don't Look Up ** 22m E3,5c
   Start just right of an earthy crack on the left side of the slab. Climb to a narrow ledge, move up a steep section, PR, and continue to an abseil point, PB, TB.
   
   
2. A Shadow Hanging Over Me ** 22m E2,5b
   Start at the right-hand earthy crack. Climb up the crack then step out left onto the slab. Go up a short steep crack until moves over calcite encrustations, 2PR, lead to the steep upper section. Abseil off.
