You do all that stuff? Dude, you need to follow the A&B model.... wait until the cliff is all set up, trail in, etc... let them have the 5 star classics. Then you go in and stick clip up the existing line, swing over, drill in hand, pop in the anchors and you're off to the races. Drill, tighten and send all in the same day.
