Plenty of times I've been to Bleaklow and looked down into Yellowslacks brook wondering whether it would be a good route to ascend through. Today I found out that it could actually be the best route onto Bleaklow. In terms of navigation it's pretty easy too. Just need to find a good section for dropping into the clough as it's quite steep but then it couldn't be more straight forward. You will see there is a small tricky scramble section over a waterfall that we avoided but apart from that it isn't too challenging. It's a beautiful route onto Bleaklow and a very quiet one too!
