    Superb. Ramped Up is class, and so amazing to see you climb the crux like that. I worked this years ago with Adam Hocking. Hock did the crux first, and I second. I then continued to project off and on, although never succeeded. Also - we always used to start on Smackhead, and then into Tim’s line. So cool these old projects are getting climbed with ease and style these days.
