Jihad is an eliminate, so rules are everything (and I haven't done it)

so where does it start?

sit start at the bottom of the wide crack?

one hand on the crack, the other reaching to the slopers the slopers?

suspended upside down from Wide Boyz style foot locks?

thank you in advance for your advice on this matter

cheque's in the post

I did it from a sit.

Nooooo... With the correct answer, a great opportunity to wind Lagers up has sadly passed...

Imagine the fun that would ensue if the instructions were "The problem starts with an inverted figure of 4 move starting with your right ear touching the rounded football shaped boulder (5th from the right)"...

You could have snuck in some knee bar beta and everyone would have believed it

Starts from the crack as far as I know.

Both hands ?
One hand in the crack ?

[highrepute]

Personally I think starting both hands in crack is best -> Hand traverse the slopey rail eliminating good holds on GW below.

BMC guide describes it as start matching slopey rail as for hurricane. Clearly, others start up GW.

Take your pic I guess.

Start at the crack:

The FA was done starting with both hands in the crack. As Highrepute says, you then traverse high into Hurricane slopers. It's a grade easier starting as per the Froggatt guide or up GW. Not sure how it ended up being mis-described.

Got it ta
So 7b from both hands in the crack
Same grade from a sitter ?

[Bonjoy]

If you climb up then traverse in high i.e. eliminate the lower holds on GW.

how disappointing

I was hoping for something about the same difficulty as a 7A, but with a grade of 7B

seems like I might actually have to put some effort in
