Does it?
I don't know.
Oh, I don't think it looks like an off width.
Like the crack going up?
I don't think the roof is the problem.
I don't think the roof's the problem at all.
I guess I don't know what's above it.
That's what I'm saying, you could always ditch all this stuff at the roof
and then just clean it on the way down.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, yeah.
All right, you good?
I'm good.
I think this is worse.
I was expecting something a whole lot more substantial than that
and it's like, well, shit, no.
Nervous because I have no idea what's after that.
All right, well, it is what it is.
Is what it is.
It looks like you're going to be able to check it.
Yeah, I know, that's, I read you.
This is fun.
Just all the, now it's like birds roosting here or something.
That's, wow.
So I'm just looking for a solid spot to put gear.
Here's a lot of loose stuff here, Eric.
So just, yeah, I mean, I'm not above you,
but I'm just saying if I pull something that pops off.
Yeah, I think probably right here is probably, I mean, I guess it'd be the crux.
Yeah, which makes more sense.
Oh, that's somewhat reassuring.
Yeah, we're not going to go any smaller.
I think we're just going for it off of that.
I think we're just going to go for it off of that.
Meaning I'm not going to try to get my nuts back.
I'll get there, Eric.
Now, I have a plan here.
Though it looks like it might be a little slimy coming up.
So we'll see.
Yeah.
There's a boulder like wedged up here.
Hold up.
Never a bad thing to push yourself occasionally.
All right, Eric, you can take up.
Jeez.
Take up, yeah.
I got to the end.
Yes.
No, I'm on you right now.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
Give me one second here.
Dude, this thing's like so sketch.
I'm just trying to determine which way is the best way to put the rope with it.
This thing is sketchy as hell.
All right, just go ahead and take up.
What's up?
I should be okay.
We'll just take it real slow.
Yes.
Yeah, there's just two lockers.
Wow, it's a locker and a beaner.
I'm ready, dude.
You can start lowering me.
All right, that thing's wedged in there.
