Are we cheating and starting from half way down?
I've been guilty of the same thing!
That stuff is the grippiest rock in the world.. probably on a par with the slickrock in Moab..
the safest route seems to be from the top left(highest bit) to the bottom right (or right to left as you ride over and down).. the rock step you have to deal with getting onto it is a bit sketchy but the ride down is way smoother than the chicken run at the side..
scares the crap out of me regardless!
good pics!
nope I rode the qualifier first, fell off there though, then hit the Slab, wasnt sure of best route and it went all a bit "hang on and let go of the brakes" style!!
