I keep seeing pictures of Chicken Ninja (f6A+) at Stanton Moor - it seems to be becoming a bit of a UKC shoe testing test track if nothing else, and because it's a slab and people say it is so good I want to climb it. The main problem is, I don't think I've ever climbed a 6A+, haven't as far as I can remember climbed a 6A in several years, and the 6As that I have done are few enough in number to probably all be soft touches or I didn't do them right etc.
But I do like slabs and I'm better on slabs than any other type of climbs, well maybe not cracks, but my hardest cracks have all been the civilised side of vertical. I flashed a 6b+ in Hong Kong at Easter and only have the 6c left to do on the Library Slab at Moss Rake, having now done all the 6bs and 6b+s. I've also found some F5 and F5+ grit slab problems pretty easy too.
Any tips from people who have sent it? Does it have to be really cold to be good or is it green and dank in the winter? Is it reasonably easy to jump/slide off it if you don't get it right? Any other words of encouragement (or mockery)? :-)
