YHC instructed the PAX to gather at the base of Mt. Midoriyama and abruptly face the river. MUMBLE came in droves as YHC proceeded to unwrap the great mystery of the gloom.
The Banzai Bear Crawl
This is a true celebration of the gloom as the Pax perform a Backwards Uphill Bear Crawl. Named for the gnarly contortion that each Pax ends up in as they attempt to summit a long and steep incline while executing the standard bear crawl in reverse. Also characterized by the gnashing of teeth cries that are expelled from the men as they struggle to overcome what YHC has so joyfully subjected them to.
After the Pax made it all the way to the peak of Mt. Midoriyama they basked in the glory of the Hill City Skyline. It is a well earned site to behold.

Keeping Burner’s friend and Prosciutto’s niece in our thoughts and prayers.
Proud to see this group of men work hard and continue to get better. We are continually pushing the rock up the hill and while it might not get any easier the view sure does improve.
