There are routes that more exciting but this is a good warm up.

Adaptive Info: There are three spots right at the beginning of Brake Through and two on Shotgun that could require assistance. There are two exposed off-camber spots right at the beginning of Boomerang that will definitely require a spotter. Once you're in, you're good to go though
