It is more celebratory and has better vibes than YYFY even, I love it :)

What do you guys think of this:

Not a dab per say but definitely not the legit ascent claimed... The fun starts at 10:30


the definition of "puntering off the top"

I started laughing at 10:52 when the guy confidently said “we’ve got you” when not one of the group were spotting at all, then it just got better.  :lol:

“Get the crimp” at 11:18 deserves some sort of award for worst beta ever.

Absolutely brilliant!

In a similar vein, this made me chuckle:

Been a while since I climbed it, but I’m fairly sure he’s stood on the floor for most of this...

It's connected with the ground,  that's for sure.

He seemed to be a familiar face indeed. You gotta love Louis, I love how his shoes are more polished on the upper side from dragging them on the rock that on the sole.
Brilliant.

I call no dab, potentially brushing cloth. Compared to some of the mighty examples showcased previously in this thread.

Didn't Paul Robinson get slated for exactly the same dab, then spent a month re-climbing it sans dab? Commitment to the dab free ascent if so.

can we start a "to sit or not to sit start" tread?
calling the start at 3:59 a sit start gets me rather aggravated...
just call it a low start, or crouching start.
sit means sit.

The sit start is probably just poorly named. But at 0.38ish the guy appears to deliberately press down on the pad with his left hand?

There's no "appears" about it!
