Justin did the reconnaissance on this fullpipe. He determined we needed a rench to remove a metal structure that was fitted in to the hole we would use to climb in. This metal tube was resting on its side in the lot of a snack cake factory. You know, little individually wrapped baked goodies made of chocolate, with sugar loaded cream filling. We parked in a nearby lot, Justin and Bud padded up, Fernando and I stretched, and then we trotted over in stealth mode. Justin worked the wrench then the four of us pulled this metal contraption out. Our guess is it was some kind of mixing mechanism, it was heavy, we awkwardly moved it out of the way, trying not to make a lot of noise. Each of us climbed through the hole and took a run. Even outside the pipe, the skating was loud. It was steel, maybe 10-14' tall, with pretty tight transitions, and about 20' of carving length. Plus, one end of the pipe was coned, forming a kinked corner-like terrain enhancement. There was also a hole the size of a frisbee, between 8 and 9 o'clock, that let sunlight in, and served as an obstacle to carve over.
