	Finally put the "fire pit project" to rest! Classic american fork power. I finished through the wizards crux and stopped at the burning/melting chains(bats out of hell was too wet) i also replaced the original start with cannibals direct,it may be harder or the same im not sure but this routes gotta be the hardest climb i've ever done considering the number of days I put in. Big thanks to Jess for getting me hyped to get on this route! References [1] https://www.8a.nu/crags/sportclimbing/united-states/hell/sectors/hell-cave/routes/in-hell-ill-be-in-good-company
