"A lot of surprises in the Aggro Crag for our players coming up right here; they're going to begin at Boulder Canyon, our new six-foot section standing between them and their first actuator. Our players can trigger all sorts of obstacles and surprises as they climb up— avalanches, floods, snowstorms, loose ledges, rolling rocks, and of course, the smoke, sound and fury of a living, breathing mountain. I hope our players are ready. Let's go to Mo for the rules, Mo!" - Mike O'Malley (1993-1994)

"And the competition has been hot so far, but now, it's about to get even hotter. In fact, the competition here on GUTS is so hot, our Crag has taken on a new molten color; now it's Mega, Mega-Large, Mega-Sharp and Mega-Challenging. From its very core, the Shard Zone has erupted into a tangled mass of petrified lava; as they try to climb to the peak, they will encounter Stone Ledge, a horizontal rock climb preventing our players from locking in on their final actuator. They'll also trigger obstacles like snowstorms, floods and nuclear flying crystals, trying to find their way through that labyrinth of smoke and snow all the way to the top; and of course, awaiting them is the sound and the fury of a dormant volcano, ready to blow. I hope our players are ready. Let's go to Mo for the rules, Mo!" - Mike O'Malley (1994-1995)

"And Ladies and Gentlemen, the competition has been hot so far and now it's about to get even hotter because we are now at the (Super Aggro) Crag. First, it was the Aggro Crag, and then it evolved into the Mega Crag, and now (it has become) the Super Aggro Crag. IT'S BIGGER, SHARPER, and it's filled with more obstacles and more surprises than ever before. Players begin in Boulder Canyon where blistering blasts of venomous vapors erupt from the canyon floor, then it's up through Switchback Bend, with volcanic boulders ready to explode at the slightest touch. Lurking ahead, Avalanche Ledge with ultra sharp spires and rumbling rocks (that are) ready to roll (on top of our players). From there, it's a hard solo up the Ice Wall, straight through the falling sheet of snow, protecting the Crag peak. And all the while, they'll be facing the sound and fury of a molten volcano that's ready to blow. You want rules? (I got ya/Let's go to Mo.) Mo!" - Mike O'Malley (1995)

"Players will start at the sound of my whistle, each player has an identical side of the mountain to climb, and may not cross into another player's path.

The first player to activate all of the targets, including the final one at the peak of the mountain/Crag will receive first place points. Mike?" - Moira Quirk (1992-1995)
