Tommy makes a few first attempts at popping over the ledge, but there's nothing but choss to grab up top. Tommy tests his giant sling anchor - and it works! Once Austin and Tommy are out of the way, I swing over and knock a bunch of rocks off to reveal a hold or two.
Tommy goes up again. Unfortunately, He's carrying a sling around his chest and a tree branch rudely reaches out and snags the sling. This time he is forced to test the anchor a lot harder. He wisely decides to rip off the evil tree branches.
Ever polite, and unable to reach his Altoids, Tommy decides not to breathe for the last few pictures.
