[Hide Comment] The crux is at the top, and you'll want more than your mind to land on, unless of course you keep that in your butt. Mar 2, 2008

[Hide Comment] Once you get the beta it is V2. At least in J-tree it is. Little grainy up top but very fun problem. Jan 5, 2011

[Hide Comment] Tricky for V2, felt harder than both Undertow and Crankcase which come in a grade harder. Excellent problem regardless.

A friend fractured his tallus bone slipping off of this thing unexpectedly, a pad is probably useful here. May 3, 2016
