Description

Pleasant and consistent climbing with a crux at bolt 3 leads past the bulge then up the final wall to Mussy hooks. This is just a bit steeper and harder than I Just Woke Up. The name is an exaggeration of how much extra ballast one of the FA team felt like he was carrying, but don't we all feel this way sometimes?
