I think others use the arete at the bottom to help pull up in to the groove as well (where its chalked in the video but where the climber doesnt use it).  I havent done it myself though - tried it once a couple of months ago when it was about -10 :(

Get the bottom of the groove, match it, right foot on the starting hold, then take the next hold in the groove as a backhand with left, then next one right hand and go again for the really good one with right - then and only then do you need to get the left arete. Basically you want to be laybacking up the groove - not clamping the end of the prow like 8ball.
