Sleeping with the Flowers - Roaches
April 14, 2010, 10:24:49 pm
I had quite a few goes on this with no success today. I pulled on, L heel in, L hand to lip, R hand to ripples, L hand to sloper, release the heel, work my feet up and L hand to the arete. Dropped it here a few times due to tiredness, being a loser etc. On the other channel someone mentions using a kneebar. Is there some cunning faggotry I have missed that I can use next time? Great problem by the way.

There is a good knee bar with your right, but if you have got to the rail at the top of the arete its pretty much done.
the user 'Krank' has a vimeo of himself doing it, dont think he uses the knee bar, its loads easier with it tho.

the knee bar is good but its a crafty heel toe with the left foot that proved crucial to me being able to move my left hand upto match.

Sounds familiar, I got back on it on Friday, cant match and keep the knee bar in, so releasing the knee slowly and the heel toe is key for me. Hopefully I will crush this Fri if conditions remain the same.

you would need freaky long arms to keep the knee bar in. Heel toe in then knee out, match and its done. good luck with it
