The form is a three sided box with the open side against the last pour. After it sets a little then the form is slipped along the wall for the next section. Corners and the beginning of a wall take special treatment.
Moving slurry 16' up in the air is exactly why I would not do another building like I did the big dome. A good pump will do it effortlessly for you. I am working on a framework that will hold my mixer barrel above the top of a form, eliminating the pump and letting me dump directly into the form through a gate valve on the lower side of the drum.

Well that doesnt sound bad at all!! Slip forming sounds better all the time :) When you slip form do you do it actually on the wall you are building or do you just make the blocks larger to stack on the wall where your other course went? The reason I ask this seemingly stupid question is that moving the slurry up to 16" on the top of the wall sounds difficult, or is that where the pump comes into play? ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
