Closed-Open + Grand Canyon

Closed-Open + Grand Canyon

Overview

Also known as the "2nd Hardest Variation", Closed-Open + Grand Canyon is notorious for being extremely difficult to timeout.

This variation becomes very difficult starting on the 9th lap at around 3:30 into the timeout. This is because it becomes very tricky to get past the first wall on orange due to the presence of the large grand canyon gap on blue. Once you do get past the first wall on orange, the remainder of the lap is straightforward, with 3 easy jumps in the middle of blue and 3 easy jumps at the end of orange.

Paths

There are 5 possible paths to take on laps 9-12 of the timeout:

  1. Start on orange

Here is an example of what an ideal 4 person timeout looks like for this variation:

  • 1 player outer wall jumps laps 9-12
  • 1 player inner wall jumps laps 9-12
  • 1 player takes grand canyon ledge laps 9-11 and takes Piggy's Path lap 12
  • 1 player takes Rainbow's path lap 9-12

Note

In the rare case that you must have 2 players in the center during laps 9-12, you should coordinate as follows:

  • On laps 9-11:
    • First player runs in front and takes grand canyon ledge
    • Second player runs behind and inner wall jumps
  • On lap 12:
    • First player runs in front and inner wall jumps
    • Second player runs behind and takes Piggy's path
