No it doesn't.  I had tried using it in the past and it didn't work but with the desperation on Sunday of continually falling on the last moves on toprope, I was giving every dismissed hold a second chance :)

forgot to say the pics can be seen bigger at http://www.biggielove.blogspot.com/  Sorry Keith, its not as good as it sounds ;)

From biggielove; "His teaching is not ‘muscle based’; instead he will help you unlock techniques that will allow you to climb in the most efficient possible way. He will redirect your thinking in climbing and open new doors of opportunity leading to dramatic improvements both physically and mentally."

I should add that I am also available for masterclasses, incase you are trying a project and haven't found the subtle difference between hard and very hard, between failure and success, between Gold and Platinum.  I can assist.   ;)

Thought you guys might be interested in a bit of info and some of my feelings about the route?

No shit! Well detailed accounts are the new nudge-nudge wink-wink hint-dropping.

Excellent effort. Those fingerholds look particularly meagre.

Just looking at the pics you know that those moves are nasty and then you read your description of them.... effort lad and congratulations on getting it done.

@ james: did you checked the piece with something heavy before the send or was it just praying it wouldn't blow?

anyway, looks like a killer line with nice slopers. i loved the equilibrium footage so i can't wait to see this one.

Didn't test the gear.  From past experiences I have learned that even a tiny change in the rock can make the difference between micro gear sticking and not sticking and so I didn't want to risk drop testing it and maybe breaking the placement.

I cant wait to see the footage as well, it is supposed to be très bon.
