[Hide Comment] I thought this was as enjoyable as Pony Express! Super fun, and thought provoking. Thanks Blake + Zach for another great line. Oct 19, 2020

[Hide Comment] the knob pulling on the slab was outrageously fun! pulled on some features i’ve never even seen before, but the two lower bulges were not the most fun, have a hard time giving this a grade since bolt 3 to 4 feels maybe harder than anything on pony express, but otherwise it’s a grin inducing romp to the chains Apr 24, 2022
