Look at the mild slopes around Womp. 15 degrees perhaps - at best. That escape hatch slope is worse - much worse at the end. Go back to the where you were guys - leave by a way you KNOW works. You will at best waste a week, at worse, break something!

Look at the slippage - they've almost dug a trench with the FL wheel!!!
