www.facebook.com/thomas.randall.58910?fref=nf A very good day yesterday. Days and days of slog out in the desert hunting for projects paid off.... found the big one! Way bigger and harder than Century and it's in a flippin' cool location.
Century by our guesses was around 140ft and this beast is somewhere near 200ft of horizontal. Fingers all the way through to offwidth. Could we ask for more?!

I'd assumed they already had a shortlist provided by Crusher before flying out but it appears not. This is pretty bold before you start on the climbing.

It's big...
