Caley - sandwich slopers
February 21, 2013, 07:53:53 pm
Ok so I'm probably puntering myself by opening my account on this forum with a beta question about a 5+ boulder problem but I don't care.

Any tips for 'Sandwich slopers' (as it's known in the new grit guide - Problem 5 eliminate in the old rockfax I think)? Tried it off and on a few times and it always goes along the lines of hang slopers, foot into break, rock up, get reverse side pull with left hand, wonder what to do next, fall off.

Rock up higher and slap for the good holds at the top is my best guess but seems unlikely to me at the grade (not saying it is). Any readjustment of feet to get up into the pockets results in quickly greasing off the sidepull.

I'm pretty weak but V1 isn't usually impossible for me. Never seen anyone on this problem either to sneakily watch them do it or flat out ask them for tips.

Thanks.

Not that problem but you can see it from the picture of the supposedly slightly harder problem next door.
