George's Crack

Anyone done this who doesn't have massive hands?

Had my first go yesterday and found that stacking off the crimp was definately not going to happen, after an hours contorting I found that I could go feet first and do a crunch into a earlier stack, but by then I was spanked.

is there a non crimping solution for the diminutive fister?

If you've got small fists, you could always try the old favourite "Tea cup jam"

Rather than laying your thumb across the front of your bent fingers, allow it to sit down the side of your bent index finger so that it creates a spacer. If really desperate stick the end of your thumb pad into the hole formed by your bent index finger and you'll gain something like an extra 2cm width. Pain will be coming your way though!

Good luck.
