In reply to Gordon Stainforth:
> Yes, no need to abseil at all. The 'scary' bit on Slab and Notch is the slab
Might have changed a bit, cause there's now basically a path along the bottom of the slab. I'd say the hardest bit is the steep but juggy section up to/down from the notch.
I'd definitely rather scramble up and down (slab and notch both ways, don't bother with the old West, it's rubbish and has a hard move at the top) rather than teach soneone to ab - although they might find the latter more adventurous and exciting.
