Fell & Rock Climbing Club

Strenuous and technical climbing up the slim groove just right of the arête above the top left corner of the slab of Slab and Notch Climb. Named for the siege tactics used on early attempts!

A bold boulder problem start up a smooth groove to the right of a pinnacle leads to a brief respite (by moving left onto the pinnacle a good high cam can be placed). Continue up the groove – well protected but sustained and very thin, until it eases. Move up and rightwards, keeping to the right side of the arête, to the top.
