Super Slab is a bouldering area in Jenner Headlands Preserve in California, managed by a non-governmental organization. The preserve sits along the coast, and the climbing is all bouldering, with eight routes spread across the slab. The routes run from V0 to V8, with the hardest being Super Abalone at V8 and the easiest being Mouse Crack and Not So Super Slab at V0. Super Slab itself is a V6 boulder problem. The area is a compact cluster of boulders rather than a long route, so it works well as a short session. The most comfortable months for a visit are late summer into early fall, when typical averages from the nearby Ft Ross weather station run from highs around 65 to 67°F with lows near 48 to 50°F. Winter is cooler, with typical highs in the upper 50s. The Raptor Ridge Trail and Sea to Sky Trail both start about half a mile away, and Sea Crag and Main Rock are climbing areas within about 2.5 miles.
