Call it what you want, that wall was not climbable without lotsa go juice.
I saw several of the best in the biz try to crawl it, with rearsteer/forced articulation and everything else you can think of. If you wanted to get to the top you had to gas it and gas it good!!!

Just so you can get an idea of how steep that climb actually was. Here is a picture of Neil Lillard on the same obstical.

Can't get any closer to vertical than that. The video doesn't really capture how steep that really is, but the picture does!:eek: :skull:
