We gave this a couple of tries, but it was still dirty and a bit wet. It has some decent features on it, and shouldn't be too hard.

Sent this line this evening after work. It's "A Real Cool Hand". As Remo says, it's got some good features. I'm not too good at rating stuff but I would probably lean in the V3 or maybe V4 range. Plus or minus a number, as JJ says. Seemed too short so after stand start I did sit start but even that wasn't too tough as the foot ledge is just like standing on the ground. Travis- great work here. A really nice addition to the existing lines and areas.

Yah I usually wait for someone to tell me what to do. Just ask my wife. Tho Travis posting this up was like someone telling me what to do. To be honest I was a bit bummed it went so quickly, most of the fun for me is working it out, not a quick send...
