actually, yes, and i'm happy you brought that up because the holds on manifest have way too much grip. i lost several layers of skin because of this and my weekend was ruined. that's the last time i go to muir valley where awesome people have spent thousands of hours developing routes and establishing trails and pouring time and money into something they love and want to give to the community and get literally nothing in return. the last time i tell you..
