The Lakesbloc guide talks of two methods one slappy one stylish/magic way.

I thought the obvious (slightly slappy) way was going with RH to upper crimps matching, steadying, then popping to top.

What does the other stylish way involve?

Some vague details from memory...

Method 1: Pull on - up to incut crimp RH - then side-cut/undergrip LH - sort feet - crossover yourself RH to the curved edge - adjust feet - match curved edge - reach up RH statically to top.

Method 2: Pull on - up to incut crimp RH - then side-cut/undergrip LH - sort feet - slap to curved edge LH - sort feet - pop to the top RH.

Thanks, was curious. Great climb.

Yeah, Greg speaks the truth. Initially I found the cross through method harder, but it isn't once you do it. If that makes sense.
Yes, it's a great problem. See the Thorn Thread for other stuff and vids.
