A slab materpiece.
This was originally my project. I'd spent a while working on it, eventually doing it with one fall. I had a bunch of projects on the go, some of which were bolted, others just in my head. I got mightily fed up with it, I couldn't get the right shoes, was fed up with the weather and seeing as almost everyone had lost interest in the quarries it was incredibly difficult to get anyone to come up and belay, so in the end I let Johnny do it. I've regretted it ever since. [1]
