Andi tells me the wall to the left has now been done (not by him!). Any details?

Ah yes, good name. The landing is significantly gully-like if I recall. Bon effort.

Seem to remember he was wearing the same clothes for Can't Touch This unfortunately, although I do believe he owns several pairs of parachute pants...
