idk which one you're talking about. is it between 2 sets and horrible serrated gnarliness to ollie from?
i had a secret 9 stair at UMASS, lower than the rest and you popped from decent cement but pushed through 500 yards of shit to get to it. aka the andy dufresne ledge.

For some reason in all my trips to UMass I’d never made the effort to locate the Gagne ledge. It was always just the 7 set, and the 9 set with the tiled surface (its been a good 16+ years, so I could be wrong on the sizes).

What a damn shame.
