Description

This one's interesting. 3 ft. ledge on the lead in. Probably an 8 ft. drop. Deep in the middle, but looks sticky, shallow on both sides. There's a bit of metal in the center of the leadin to look out for.  Lot's of fun because it's constricted, but definitely be wary of this one. Cleanest line is to start right over the 3 ft. ledge, then boof off of the curler.
