Description

Heaven or Hell. One day you're dropping head high lefts on the inside. The next you're getting pushed around, having your leash pulled and being told to fuck off. When it's big it's insane but you've got to be very good just to make it through the locals to the line up at the back of the rock. Keep calm, keep your head and you'll be OK.
