Description
"When open boat whalers put out to sea, they knew they only had a one in three chance of coming back..."--Rob Robinson
OBW wanders up and right on the protruding prow left of the Message. It's kinda out-there for such a short exercise, and definitely puts a little wind in your sails.
Start in the left-facing corner, gain a horizontal ledge, and move right for 20 feet or so. Navigate upwards on the slightly overhanging wall, weighing your need for pro against your ability to hang in there and dink it in, and trending right a bit to the top.
"Ships are safe in the harbor, but that's not what ships are designed for"
