The cluster of pebbles is what me and scouse were using for left foot, him getting steady on it and reaching, me bouncing off the floor :lol: .

If you look about a 2 foot off the floor above an alright smear theres a pebble scar where there used to be a really good pebble that was at just the right height, but its gone now. I thought that might be what you meant cso i didn't think of putting right foot on the cluster.

Me and Dense trying this today, anyone got a good sequence for the 1st long move into the crimp for someone with short arms? Dense can do it (long armed fuck) but my arms are too short. Got a french spot onto the crimp and I found matching easy but putting right foot in pocket weird, like you had to swing your body from left to right before going up. strange

THe way i got closest to doing it was matching the sloper and then shuffling your feet out a bit and slapping for the top with my right.  Got the height but never held it...

the pissest way to reach the first sloper/crimp is undercut in left hand, right hand on slopey break, put left foot low and then put right foot next to your hand - its then piss to reach the hold, but in that position you're at a dead-end, or at least i am, cos you can't move out of that position. you might be able to make it work though. If i every do it i'll have to get slopers with feet lower, then rock left on pebble to match,

When I tried it years ago it was matching the crimp slope thing. Tried it recently though with oldhams answer to sven goran ericsson and much to my surprise, there is a completely new hold. use the crimp? I don't know but I didn't do it. you need to arrive there with a definate plan and the start dialled.
For me, the foot in chip is a red herring.
