Hence the name Dabmember....

Brilliant!!!

Looking at it again I can't imagine how I mistook his cock for a heel. I suppose a massive cock is some compensation for being homeless....

Massive cock or no, it's still a dab but assuming he went on to do an actual First Ascent at some point so all good

Smellow FA heel dab here...

Small but perfectly formed 

Who did get the FA then, scragrock?

No No i am wrong, many days, hours and painful minutes have passed since your first insightful post and i have seen the error of my ways. 50 lases across my unclothed back in guilt fuelled religious flagellation has educed a fevered compliance.
It is, was and always will be a dab, there was of course No first ascent{well at least not one with a fictional prosthetic throbbing penis}...{sorry i added the "throbbing" unnecessarily, but that's religion for you} The unclean one, The dabbed one , Beelzedab, The fallen, He who i shall no longer mention must be hounded and destroyed.
Your example shall be followed and this Benjy{ok i will mention him just once} character will be stricken from the records, shunned and excommunicated{i may not even buy him a nice icey cream on a hot day}.

Please forgive me and i sincerely hope and pray{on me kneesies} that one day years from now that under a grey leaden sky and surrounded by our ever watchful peers you might find it within yourself to punish me appropriately for my sins.

I didn’t realise the block was actually ‘in’

[spidermonkey09]

I thought that was the whole point: Joker starts off the block, Ace doesn't?

Yep.....

[Scouse D]

The block should be used to get established on the holds but not as a foothold. Thus dude is using the block to start the movement and instigate the momentum. All fine, but not 8A surely. This rears its head every now and then on the forum but loads of people still take the tick. More fool them.

[SA Chris]

Daniel Woods called him out already.

[spidermonkey09]

Sounds like another 'classic' problem thats actually objectively shit to me!

dupe; delete

Don't know, all you need is a pressure pad on the step off boulder, connected to a siren. if launch force exceeds a certain limit it goes off and repeats "back around" "back around" until you step on it again.

[Dexter]

Out of interest, what is and isn't considered ok for the joker? Do you have to step off the block and stop all the swing first? Can some of the swing be used for the campus/jump?

Just wait until you realise how reachy the pull on is.

Yes, exactly. You can see why someone was offended enough to flip the start block. I felt slightly conflicted flipping it back into place. A semi-french start on a one move campus problem, doesn't sound like classic or 8A to me.

This, combined with 36C saying its reachy anyway... 

Might as well start it off a stepladder!

Don't worry, all is revealed when you do the move. It's pure magic.

I lower on, meaning my leg swings in but I then use the outswing to initiate the move. I couldn't do it if I killed the swing. That video looks fine to me, obviously the left foot on sequence then double catch à la Jerry is better but it's not like he's jumping off the block like I've seen some do.

Agreed (in general, not done this one). I think a problem can be totally classic if the move(s) are incredible, but most other things about it are objectively not classic.

And vice versa there are plenty of problems where everything else (location, line, rock quality, etc.) is pure class but the actual climbing is a bit crap.

I can't see anything wrong with what that chap did either. It certainly doesn't look like he pushes with his leg at all.

[36chambers]

some just needs to put some comp tape on the start holds and on the original left foothold, that should sort everything out easy peasy.

Looks a bit board climbing for you JB!

Seems we do agree about the merits of a good eliminate after all.

This might be a repost but 32:27- 34:10 is a spotter dab masterclass.

Showed this to the wife after laughing myself into a stupor. "Why is he tickling him?"
