Anyway this is a cool line. Going up the blocks at the start is quite disconcerting as you pretty much have to pull out on them, but I guess they're solid (at least until the next earthquake?)

You'll probably want a few more pieces than doubles of .3-.75; singles of small and a 1 and 2 would be good from what I remember. Jan 27, 2015
