I don’t see anything wrong with that, sometimes it’s appropriate to do a close spot and that looks like one such occasion.

I feel like this must be a joke but it's going over my head...

Not at all, I just don’t think he’s assisting her and with her foot twisted like that you’d want to be caught before you’ve generated and distance or speed.

Wasn't all spotting like this in the 90s? Swear there are vids of Moon being spotted similarly. Was it the growth of pads that created the "dabbing/touching the climber is cheating and invalidates the ascent" zeitgeist?

I'm with Teaboy. Anything other than already having your hands on or within a t-shirt's-sag is going to be useless for spotting that.

Jake and Amy are pretty handy and know the rules. They made two of the most entertaining bouldering films on YouTube. Each still somehow at <1k views.
