Silk Start, Stanage
October 05, 2010, 09:05:58 pm
On all the vids I have seen of this people jump start left hand up to the higher sloper, just wondering whether this was the accepted way of doing it at 7a+??
cheers......

I reckon its much easier just to mantel/ layback - turn left hand to palm and lean off r hand on arete.

cool, is that still with a dynamic start to turn the palm down or pulling on first?

Start with right foot on polished pebble and then pull into it. No need to jump but I've no beef with people who do - it would be a bit ironic banning jump starts on a Dawes problem. WWJD?

I go to the pocket first, then drop back down to the palm when feet sorted for the mantel.
