Left hand - push down with either thumb or first two finger-ends. Match right foot to hand and carefully stand up. The first hold you get (chalk line above Sam's head) is wank, but its enough.

another vid here (though id arther you watched the other one  ;))



basically i get the tiny fingernail crimp with my left and the good hold on the face with my right. step left foot through and put right foot on right hand hold (good edge). then push down with left and reach up with right to a small edge. i found the key getting your right foot on the face hold well.

I found getting your nails behind the hold helped if a bit painful. needs a strong right leg to stand up.
The problem is pretty poor due to the lack of top out IMHO

I thought the main issue wi this one was wanting to hold the razorblade hold hard enough for fear of slicing fingertips.

Nah, the hold's too small to pull on. And your weight's on your feet.

hey I don't need weight on a hold to fuck my skin. I once split a tip back-and-footing a diff chimney at popular end.

Great video, glad you posted that again as I hadn't seen it before. He doesn't half make High Speed Imp Act look hard though eh?! Actually made me psyched to try Deliverance again.

its pulling/locking, not my strong point is a large understatement. cheers for the positive feedback  :)

That's why I did it the thumb way. Tougher skin and less of a day ruiner if you get a split
