John Dunne: The Very Big and The Very Small - 5.14 slab
john dunne has never climbed vbvs, or 14 slab for that matter. it was put up by johnny DAWES and repeated by steve mclure.
there is a 13d slab route in spain
and a v15 slab boulder problem in japan
i bet that gecko tape helps immensely for both.
Man, you are just my frickin' proctor these days drool (or is it proctologist ).
True story:
My buddy Chris Schloedfelt was gonna try " Hall of Miirors" in Yosemite, and just before he was starting, some long-haired freak approached him and said:
"Hey! You gonna climb Hall of Mirrors?"
Chris said "Yes."
Longhair says: "Gimme your shoes, I'll show you a trick for slab."
Chris wonders, but eventually figures the guy isn't going to steal his shoes...
Longhair grabs the shoes and goes to the nearest pine tree, sits, and starts rubbing down the soles with pine tar. He comes back, rubbing the shoes vigorously, hands them back to Chris and says:
"This is how we did this one - I'm Jim Bridwell, and this will make these shoes stick to anything "
