And yeah sorry lads well done on the Vid but it does start sitting.

Thought the standing start might get a mention, naughty me. :guilty:

I find it easier still if you match the sloper with the toe-hook still in then campus to the break rather than faffing around trying to get feet back on.

There is another easy short-persons method which doesn't use the toe out left.
From matched on the undercut:

- LH out to big slopey sidepull
- RF heel-toe cam just right of the starting hold (heel on chalked edge, use the little overlap on the right for your toe)
- RH out to intermediate below the 'nose' hold
- Sort feet out, put LF into toehook in undercuts
- Take RF off and hold the swing on the toehook
- Slap up to 'nose' with RH, match, take toe out and continue as normal.

Worked for me...  :shrug:

Hmmm - glad this one has re-emerged.

I'd had a play on this one but given up on ever being able to do it, will give the short method(s) a go...

Definitely worth it, I'd given up on it too but went back with some beta and did it in a few goes.

It's a very good problem and possibly even better this way than the regular method.
