| So I'm enjoying slab leads more and more everyday. I've been mostly climbing in Little Cottonwood Canyon and think that the rock is perfect for delicate slab movement and good routes. ex: S-Direct I'm asking where else are there good slab leads? |  FLAG |

| Sounds like someone needs to make a trip to Suicide outside of LA. Impeccable rock, and nothing to hang onto! Great frictiony slab routes from 5.easy to 5.youmustneedmagictoclimbthis fun! Also basically any othe granite climbing area should be full of slab climbs (Yosemite/Tuolumne, tahquitz, Joshua tree, heck there's even an area with 6-8 pitch granite slab routes outside of McCall Idaho). Enjoy your slabbin! |  FLAG |

Enjoy your slabbin! If you're out near LA and have an extra day, you can check out Devil's Punchbowl as well. I don't know if I would call it the best slab climbing, but there are certainly some fun shaded routes and the area, while small, is clean. I enjoyed it when I was out there. -Eamon |  FLAG |

| Stone Mtn and Looking Glass were my intro to slabbing, mighty nice climbing. Would like to visit some of the other areas suggested but have to admit that for good slabbin in nice weather without anybody else around South Platte is hard to beat! Outside of Turkey Rocks and Devils head most of my trips to SPlatte we had the slabs entirely to ourselves. Finding the climbs can be a little difficult at times but it's a great place to climb in the fall and winter. www.mountainproject.com/v/topographical-oceans/105758688 www.mountainproject.com/v/childhoods-end/105762645 |  FLAG |
