More physically demanding than the other and more pucker as well. A nice 98 foot drop makes up for the challenges. http://ralph.rigidtech.com/view_album.php?set_albumName=Neversink 494d85b209a365eae8b55e6b01865e94 Thu, 08 May 2008 00:23:29 -0600 http://ralph.rigidtech.com/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Neversink http://ralph.rigidtech.com/albums/Neversink/Ralph_ascending_Neversink_2_2.thumb.jpg http://ralph.rigidtech.com/albums/Neversink/Ralph_ascending_Neversink_2_2.sized.jpg http://ralph.rigidtech.com/albums/Neversink/Ralph_ascending_Neversink_2_2.thumb.jpg 108 144 162 feet of sheer majesty.

Mainly for it's simplicity and for some of the neat stuff inside. It is closed now and thus I got lucky to have been able to see it before then.
