Look at the photo on page 1. See the crack at the climber's right feet? It's diagonal!! I thought that was what the guide was talking about. So did my leader the other time. And, you don't climb back down after clipping the bolt. Neither of us went out of our way, we just followed a line and the chalk.

I'm thrilled to have been part of creating a new variant of a *** classic. I'm going to call it 'Judgement Day (Get a Life Variant) 18'.
