don't go straight up from the jug using the big pocket, topping out next to the tree. bust out left then up.

stoopid NSW. i'm amazed you guys don't get lost when trying to drive down this way

I did this problem last week and thought it was really good. The steep section isn’t as hard as it looks. I thought getting to the first sloper was a bit tricky but once you set your heel right it wasn’t that hard. After a trip to castle hill all mantles seem easier. I still vote v6 for it though. I thought the grading for fashion and passion were the wrong way round. The left line (passion I think is harder).
