Power Pinch@Bowderstone.
March 18, 2004, 05:46:08 pm
Right, i get hands on the edge (part of the traverse), left foot on hold directly below (low) and right foot high up over on the right. from there i can get the pinch/lay away with right.
what do i do with my feet then to get up for the hold 4 left hand above the pinch?
just get stronger and hang the pinch to move feet or is there a trick to it?
hard move me thinks.

ta, chappers

Start with your right foot heelhooking on the ramp, get the pinch, then put the inside of your left foot on a little hold just below the ramp, directly below the starting handholds.  Then layaway off the pinch, and either grab the big jug out left (V6/7), or go for the crimp directly above the pinch for the full tick (V8).  Classic stuff.  The key is getting the balance right to be able to use the pinch as a layaway.
