Two probs here:
bad landing boulder, central line. Does this start from the big jug and if so, is it a matter of slapping for crimp, get heel on & turn downwards, rock up whilst pushing off crimp?

Hurricane. Anyone done it? where do you put your feet? the only fesable foot hold makes you bash your knee violently into the rock

[dave]

for that bad landing B8 you start on the lip jug/hold, slap up right for a crimp, then put left heel on a bit left of the jug then rock for the next hold - actually piss for B8 once you've got it sorted.

see scouse for hurricane beta.

Not sure i want to give any more beta on hurricane as every man and his dog will be able to do it! I've tried this quite a lot at regularly hold the top for  a second or two but not quite topped it out yet but fuck knows how not. To get the lip is actually really easy- just hanging it long enough to match is my problem(my problem seems to be over powering the move and going too far- the key being smoothness-not speed).
Sneaky beta is based around how to hold the first holds really- half crimping the RH end and pinching with Left. Left foot wraps around polished bit on ramp and Right foot on small edge, then pull smooth through the move...
...that's alot of beta for one move!!

Alternatively just walk up to it and do it like a certain Mr. Brown

excellent, cheers.
all i need now is some decent weather

word to diggy Dave on the bad landing beta, came close with that method meself and seen it done that way loads - defo left heel hook then pull like a muthafucka.

There was a vid of someone bustin it on bigpebbles.co.uk, don't know if it's still there though...good luck wid it, I'll be back on it once this poxy weather sorts itself out!

i found it much easier to put my right foot out on the lip on the rhs (over the lower boulder.... if you catch my drift). Then get rh crimp and just palm down with left on jug, jobs a good 'un!!! Defo not B8!!!! (unless i'm thinking of an entirely different bit of grit!!)

[Scouse D]

Word Billy, that's the way I did it too though dave's beta is also sound.

I did Hurricane a few weeks back. Just after Christmas when it was nice and cold. I found the tough bit cranking on a sharp crimp thing with the left hand. Holding the top once you get there is the easier part. Sorry to disagree with the other person. Get the left foot quite high and commit for the slopy top with the left hand.

[Bonjoy]

Sharp crimp :? what sharp crimp?? Are you saying Scouse D that the top can be got static with a left foot heel-toe?  Which bit of top do you go for, sloper on right or better hold further left?

Iced this bad boy yesterday and unsurprisingly it felt piss. Instantly erased all memory of the other 100 goes spread over 5 visits. Think I could do it pretty much every time now.

i think you dropped a 0 in that last post there dave.

I'll hold you to that for the vidyo shoot  :wink:
