Can anyone assist with the crux sequence on In Brine? We were on it today, and found real trouble in linking the moves from the two good side pulls at the 3rd bolt, into a poor crimp and then a slopey LH sidepull. Poor feet. There is talk on previous forums of a sugar cube hold - what and where is this hold on the route?
Dunno what the cube hold is but did this yesterday and it all seemed to flow without being too cruxy, I thought it was nicely sustained. I actually thought it was as good if not better than Sardine and around the same grade

I had a look at this yesterday and struggled with the final hard move up to the jugs in the overlap. I had a poor 3 finger crimp for the right that I could barely pull on to get to the final jug. Is this where the hidden pocket comes in? It must be pretty well hidden!Rich
The hold should go back on if poss I reckon...
