Climbing Area: Beiderbecke Slabs Main Slab
| Grid Reference: | SD 2392 9828 |
|---|---|
| Altitude: | 230m |
| Approach: | From the Fickle Steps parking area follow the left hand path east descending into woods turning northwards up the valley to cross the footbridge over Tarn Beck and cross the wall using a tall stile. Follow the path through the first field gate and 70m further leave it and take the gate on the left, contouring round outcrops, to gain a distinctive path leading northwards through a further gate to the end of the walled enclosures. Best to make for the grassy ramp ahead and traverse left above the first outcrop to large holly at the slabs base. |

This slabby outcrop lies below and to the left of Henry’s Cat Wall giving pleasant open climbing, well worth a visit. A large boulder, the Beiderbecke Boulder, 25m uphill marks a reference point for the first route.
