Do you start from the large incut pocket thing half way up the wall? then I take it that you go up to the big scooped hold and over the lip to finish?

Eminently flashable if you're strong....

Aye, hard to get your feet on at first

[dave]

that first move is massive. I pulled on and thought "yowzer!". Its not even as if that "incut" start hold is even really good honestly.

[dobbin]

Its a bloody long way! like that Hurricane at Curbar.

[Stu Littlefair]

you can also do the first move static - by putting your left foot really fucking high on the left and rocking up onto it. It's not over when you get the porthole though, using the blighter is still quite hard.

higginson pisses it on the vid tho dunni? monster monster.

[dobbin]

I think I know where you mean for your foot Stu - ta, I'll have to go and have another look.

As for Higgy, well, not everyone finds the Powerband easier footless eh!

[Pantontino]

The key to Higg's method is a subtle toe drag that halts the swing when you hit the porthole. Unfortunately I don't know anybody that 'fits' this position. Malcolm of course just powered through.

Jerry was trying the rockover method, but he was nowhere near static, and he never managed to hold the porthole. I pushed him on to this move and he pissed it to the top.

[Stu Littlefair]

Yeah - the top is Ok when you get onto the porthole.

For some reason I can get my hand onto it, but can't get any weight to bear on the blighter. Might be time to try the beasting method again.

One of those problems that I've always thought "I'll get that next time" and never do. Awesome effort by the Higgs.

[c.j.d.]

you'll never do it.

[dobbin]

Thanks, thats just what I needed! now I'll show it who's boss!

[Naylor]

I ended up in the road, which isn`t very cool. :freak:

[Jim]

that's gotta hurt
