Part II
Story by TXJEEPER
Slickrock? No, we didn't suddenly end up in Moab. Though not made of sandstone, like its namesake in Utah, this obstacle seems like it's one giant piece of rock. We weren't the first gang there, so it was pre-slicked from the water and mud at the bottom.

Once you get started, though, you need to stay in it. There's a crack on the right and a drop on the left to throw you if you miss your line.
