Hi looking for advice on approach to East rib/the spur on Tarn Crag. We tried to follow directions about starting near a holly tree from 'Scrambles and easy climbs in the lake district' guidebook but really struggled to find a route. Any direction welcome! East Rib (Grade-2)

In reply to bryp153:

I don't think I followed it either - it's not a good scramble. Can't say much more than that. Now I just do the polished route up the best bit of the crag, maybe a diff? I find it OK in trainers as it's on good rock with big holds. 

In reply to Jon Stewart:

Ah interesting, ok thanks might look for that then instead! 

In reply to bryp153:

Can't help with the exact start and route, but aiming for the lowest rocks towards the right end of the crag and follow the scrambling line works. It gets a bit grassy in the mid section, going rightwards here leads to more good rock before broken scrambling leads to the top.

The Groove is a more continuous line and can be found near the left end of the crag, near another holly! Many variations exist, on most you will find comforting holds.
