This time he’s climbing for his life.

Today’s climbing centers on Red Rambo the Hippy, a former member of Oracle’s Web ADI (an elite Software Development unit) who coded in Java and is a PhD student at UQ. Rambo has difficulty adjusting to hippy uni life and wanders the campus as a drifter. Our story begins as he is seeking out his friend the Grasshopper, apparently the only other Release Engineer from his unit to make it out of Oracle alive.

Rambo runs afoul of Gangbang Wall, a grade 23 climb on the ultimate Urban Crag called Kangaroo Point cliffs. Gangbang Wall drives Rambo out of the crag while reminding him the climbers of Kangaroo Point don’t appreciate people of his kind: hippies. Ramba seeks another route to climb, but tonight a school group had setup on just about everything at the cliff.

Ramba resorts to watching others from his crew climb, where he is beaten by Gilligan, the crew’s sadistic lead climber who happens to still be at Oracle. Gilligan climbs GangBang Wall to the top. Some of the crew are sympathetic to Rambo, but are also ignorant or meek. During the beatings, Ramba has flashbacks to his time as a Prisoner of Oracle (PoO). Talk of the Application Product Lifecycle, as the bouldering Giggler heckles him, brings to Rambo’s mind horrible torture when he was a PoO and causes Rambo to have a psychotic episode. He violently disables the Chock who then also ran afoul on Pterodactyl. Fleeing Gangbang’s belay station, Rambo quickly ties into XXXX’s top rope setup.

Only moments before had the Teacher fell from the crux of XXXX in a failed dyno but dogs his way to the top. Rambo then confronts the Teacher, a belay device pushed at him. He threatens chaos should he be trashed talked again: "In the school yard you’re the law, out here it’s me. I could have cleaned all those climbs. I could have lead it. Don’t push it or I’ll give you a solo you won’t believe. Let it go. Let it go."

Rambo then climbs suddenly. The Teacher is clearly shaken, but refuses to let go and belays him. Word gets around at the base of cliff, and the incident gets the attention of Rambo’s former Release Engineer, the Grasshopper, who warns that trying to out climb Rambo is suicidal; his robotics training and experience make him far better than anyone else. The Grasshopper suggests letting Rambo go; they can probably pick him up working at a car wash and nobody else will get hurt. The Teacher dismisses that advice and continues to belay Rambo.

The Bruiser and Nicey evacuate the cliffs to seek a safe haven away from the pissing contests.

The Grasshooper talks to The Teacher for the final time, advising him to give up his mania of belaying Rambo. Just let him down. The Teacher staunchly refuses.

Rambo spots the crux. After destroying the start of the climb, he manages to get a few more metres up. Gilligan and The Teacher curse Rambo. Meanwhile, the Giggler was making a bold attempt on Gangbang Wall. And the Chock another attempt on Pterodactyl, this time with the right footwear. Rambo was effectively surrounded.

The Grasshopper appears and tells him that his mini-climb with XXXX is over; there’s no hope of cleaning it, saying "It’s Over Christoper. It’s Over." Rambo responds with, "Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don’t turn it off! It wasn’t my climb. You asked me, I didn’t ask you!" He breaks down sobbing and tells a story about his friend Mikey Wise who was replaced by a shoe shining boy. With no purpose left, Rambo gives in and descends from the cliff.
