For what it's worth, in my experience a lot depends on the kind of rock you're on; If it's wet limestone, NOTHING seems to grip, it's just a fact of life. Smooth stones under water are a bugger too, flat slabs can be awkward in the wet, but the walshes seem to cope better than most with wet rocky paths such as crisss-cross Ilkley Moor.
and there was you when we first met telling me you didn't fancy walshes - converted?
