In reply to jezb1:
Good effort! With respect, I'd take slight issue with, 'I'd decided not to top rope it, there wasn't any point...' I think there is a point - fine tuning, aligning your body with exactly what's required of it. I've lost count of the routes where I've thought, 'I know exactly what to do,' and then got out of kilter - which can throw you psychologically (well, it does me!) If you've done hard moves 10 minutes previously and then you get on lead, you can tell yourself, "Bloody hell, I did this a moment ago..." (Works for me!)
Can I ask a really bumbly question? I note you did this in Anasazi Whites. Good shoe for this type of climbing? I've got aspirations on this slab but, right now I've only got one pair of shagged out Muiras, which ain't going to work on thin slate, and a pair of new(ish) aggressive ones which possibly might. Any ideas? I've led E4 on slate back in the day but, if getting on something a lot harder, it might help to have decent shoes.
