The big rose move to the good holds if you go left hand to the good edge for the first move. Don't worry I brushed off the ugly tick marks after :)

First move to the lip. A lot more fun of a problem if you go left hand to the edge compared to using your right in my opinion.

[Hide Comment] Chris, I'm having a hard time remembering to be honest. My best recollection is just matching the incut jug low and right and tossing to the lip. Apr 25, 2019

[Hide Comment] Cheers to whoever took the initiative to dig and level out the landing, but I will say its a bit more sketchy now because of the extra foot drop. Jul 20, 2020

[Hide Comment] That would be your's truly, Matt. It's a work in progress. Yeah, the drop is bigger, but I prefer the new iteration to the old gravelly slope of death. My buddy took numerous falls (and I purposefully jumped off the top rail a bunch of times) and we both thought it serviceable. Jul 22, 2020

[Hide Comment] I should have recognized the craftsmanship :) I'll make sure to send it again next time I'm in SB! Sep 18, 2020
