[Hide Comment] There seem to be several beta variations that reduce the difficulty of this problem. Benchmark V10 feels about right. It's difficult to see how this problem would be harder than V10 unless you're shorter than average. Jan 24, 2021

[Hide Comment] starting right hand jug (that's also the right heel) is broken. I feel like an idiot. If the route is still possible it is now more difficult. right heel might still work, but it is no longer a nice starting jug. Mar 3, 2025
