    Rock Face, Skinny

Very steep and technical with lots of rock slabs. A couple of skinnies are thrown in after you dive into the second half. Take caution as once you get to the bottom of the first rock slab there is no turning back It gets harder in the second half. Definitely deserves its double black rating.
