Description

A tricky entry move with a sticky ledge hole followed by a sweet 12-foot boof with a shallow landing zone. High pin potential in long boats. As the photo shows, boof between the horns.

After the landing pool theres a 6 foot tall slide that can be run left or right. Be careful if running right as there is a shallow hidden rock that just wants you to piton into it.
