I remember we talked about some old guy saying he ran it.

Anybody know anything? I'm sure Tao ran it, but did he run Landslide as well?
 
Rob?

I think Chris Josse and Jergen Nicklels ran it first. '02-'03? I don't know that Tao ran it. Steeuwt.

Don't know if I'll ever run that one, Dave. I like class FUN. Jeremy's run is impressive, but it's peakin out my scary meter a little too much right now, bro. Maybe one day.

Right on Jeremy! That's awrsome!!

Yup, Bret is right. I know Chris Joose has run it, and heard a few others have. Still it is a rare event indeed. Much much more rare than Lanslide.

Kick ass Jeremy! Wish I woulda been there to witness it!

--yeah, its not like it's over after sticking the boof and exiting the room of doom zone: the run out has two drops each of which would be gnarly by themselves.

What was the stick reading?

What? No, I don't think he could get out to go boating yesterday. Totally the guy you want around if you fall into Sunset Falls, though!
