Then you get up here.

There's like these balconies.

These are actually overhanging.

Like basically each little segment of this is quite different.

You know, obviously on this model, it looks the same.

But each transition between the different pieces is like a thing.

So I checked out all of them with ropes.

And, yeah, you just go piece by piece all the way up the whole thing.

Well, I hadn't free-sold it, no, but I had climbed it.

I'd climbed all the pieces with a rope for sure.

I'd, like, checked out the different things.

Yeah, it's like you go, even like just getting off the ground, the first move is a slightly different move than any of the other moves.

You have to like jump up to a thing and like press it out.

Then climbing over these little clouds is a different thing.

Each dragon is a different thing.

Yeah, I mean, it's just, you know, there's a surprising amount of complexity to it.

And so our first on the scout, you know, I had a note on my phone and I'm just like writing down all the different things.

Basically, I'm trying to learn it the way you study anything, where I'm just making notes.

From floor 54 to 72, it feels like this.

I climb the southeast corner, the left arrette, and then just writing it all down.
