er, stretching. Always stretch whilst watching telly.
TomTom I presume the long move you are talking about is the first move of vitruvian? If so I think that taller gents (you are of that persuasion , non?) sometimes deploy a heel rather than toe hook. As a midget I can't offer any real first hand insight into it's viability. Just planting the seed...FWIW I'd say the first move is the hardest. Also when you get onto the Iron Man element of things it is possible to take a more strict line from the sitter but it is a bit easier (and I think more common) for people to bring holds a bit further left into play to get set into the start of VM.
Campus rung coming in the mail! psyched to get the right crimp as strong as the left so i can start climbing 5.5
Shark was correct in his prediction that it would be absolutely baltic with the wind. It was borderline too cold really. Got through the knee bar but couldnt feel my hands so came off at the move up the the last right handhold. Next time hopefully
T - Foundry wave. First time wearing a rock shoe on my left foot!S - Highball bouldering wall comp in Norwich. 193 points, came 2nd
Hi Nick - thanks for this... there seem to be two main ways of doing the first move both using the (only real) foothold below and between handholds - 1. RF on and flag left way out left and big slap for the jug or 2. LF on and then right toe under the edge to help pull in and on to the slap etc.. is the heel method basically the same but with a heel out right under the edge rather than the toe?I could pull on for 1 and kind of slap - and I pulled on a couple of times for 2 but if felt like my left leg was in the wrong place - I may need some lank leg folding tricks for this..
