...boulder at Burbage South. Footblock is in at this grade, question is, how do you avoid the the block you sit on to start? Surely it can't be 'in' as well?

Nice problem.
If I remember correctly we used double kneebars to come out to the crimpy rail with our right then the slopey dish with our left, then jumped to the good pocket with our right.

Tried this today, nice problem. Are you going for the good pocket with the left or right hand?

Went to the good pocket with my right hand. Have also gone straight to the top with my right hand. This makes it easier to hit than stabbing into the pocket, but the distance and swing are bigger.

right foot locked sideways, left also for 1st move, take left foot out... drag it a little, once both hans on "rail" put left foot on flat smear.. pivot off it as you slap left hand up to the pocket.


that's smallies beta for you..!

it's 7a+ in my book.

Is that the rail to the right of the slopey dish? Can't remember why we didn't use this, but I'm sure there was a good reason.
