Dunno if anyone else had seen this, but looks like Gangle has done the direct out to velvet crab:

There's a story to that. Tom was intending calling it Zaf's Pant Filler! Naturally we were horrified so quickly brainstormed a crab themed replacement and texted him the result - Smash and Crab. Don't know if the subsequent change is Tom's idea, a typo, or his smart phone playing smart arse.  :???:

Have you had a go on it BJ? Any idea if it's super pocket-gnarly? If I remember right you'd have to jump out to lip off a two finger poctet in the roof or summert like that?

Does it top direct or carry on up VC?

Sounds like bad beta to me. Full arse is the way to go.
