In reply to richsmithinbristol:
Yes, you may have done Redhead's Direct on p.3, the first proper slab pitch. There's also Banner's variation on the same pitch. I've done the latter and AIR it goes diagonally left above the spike (not the lasso spike, but the one on p.3) and gets progressively thinner as you get closer to the break and it's also very runout at the top. About 5c perhaps? Redhead's goes straight up to the lasso spike, thus missing out the traverse pitch. However, if you did the traverse pitch, then more than likely you did Banner's variation, which is indeed harder than the 'normal' way.
Apparently both variations often get done in error, which is how I ended up doing Banner's. The pair in front did it (in error) and I simply followed - just like sheep.
