Which quarry?

In reply to Removed User:

The 1st one. The boulder problem up the middle of the slabby boulder.

If it’s the one I’m thinking of next to Spanking the Monkey, it could be a contender for the hardest slab in the UK... I’d be very impressed if it went down.

That's the one. Doesn't look that hard.

Have you ever tried it?

OP aln 14 Mar 2019
In reply to Smelly Fox:

I have. Have you?

In reply to aln:

Hahaha! Yes I have since you ask!

Could barely get off the ground without using either arête, but I’m no superstar.

It's one of those, easy if it goes down. It's about balance and friction

Weather on Sunday/Monday looks great. I look forward to seeing the pics on here

It's definitely weather reliant .

But you said its easy, only a bit of balancing  

OP aln 14 Mar 2019
In reply to deacondeacon:

It is! Just need to get the balancing right.

Anyone else tried it?

Try it facing outwards, bum, palms and flat feet for extra friction! 

I've seen something similar work on another "unclimbable" slab.
