What is "slickrock"?
A misnomer.
"Slickrock" is the term used for ancient, weathered, and sculpted sandstone, of the type found in parts of Utah. But it's not actually slick; your mountain bike tires will stick right to it. Which is why mountain bikers love areas such as Moab, where the most famous ride is named Slickrock.

slickrock -> zandsteen
\"Slickrock (sandstone) is smooth but not slick\"

Een geijkte vertaling ken ik niet, vandaar mijn voorstel om het in het Engels te laten met een veratling tussen haakjes.
