Slate Historical Section
So during the making of the slate guide we didn’t make the usual historical section.

It has been a while since I spent time in the quarries, probably got a bit sick of them when I wrote the guidebook. But the first day around Rainbow slab I captured the main image above. The second day was into the wild california where caff did Wedlock Holiday a really challenging E5 that I have seen take the scalps of several notable ‘flatheads’ in the past, but that what you get for E5 6c!!!
