Was trying mermaid at burbage bridge today and I can get to the intermediate sidepull/crimp/pinch with my right hand but can't reach the better flat/sloper hold.  Asides from jumping and cutting loose, does anyone have short person beta for that move please?

dont htink there is any short person beta for this  i'm 5'7 with stumps for arms and famous for wining about how short I am, and I do it the same as everybody else;
RF on good incut hold LH small move to good incut (or just start LH here..) find something to push with for your LF and go all the way to the flatty with RH, LF in slot out left LH intermmediate then again to top. The only difference for shorter climbers is after the 1st move your so stretched its easier to cut the feet to place LF in slot.
Vid of normal sized type doin it here

Left foot on polished pebble for flick up flat hold, slightly drag yr thumb on it. I don't use any intermediate holds

thanks for the advice.  I can't reach the flat hold for the RH with my right foot on the incut ledge -thats the problem.  I'll try your advice of left foot on polished pebble, flagging with right foot and just throwing for the RH flat hold a bit more.

jump... and tension

LF heel/toe up on left, go and go again with RH.  Or jump.
