warm up slab

not too interesting, but makes for a good intro/warm up for those needed some mental transition for slab climbing on the top half.

although I'm a solid high 11 leader, it seemed that this was a little sandbagged as a 5.8. At first I thought that my companions were just having trouble acclimating. Mtn Project has it as 5.9.
