Scattered amongst the sea level boulders that lie below Blacknor South and Central are four popular chunks of slabby rock. Most of the routes are in the lower grades, well equipped and on very reliable rock. The Diamond and Fallen Slab are tremendous spots to spend a day climbing, relaxing and possibly swimming. It is worth paying very close attention to the descent information as the various approach paths are steep and in places muddy and exposed. The approaches all become much more difficult in wet conditions and are liable to change if the slopes have slipped during wet weather.
