Kidneystone (Gardoms) for short folk
February 10, 2011, 04:53:36 pm
Any of the shorter folk got a sequence for the start of this?

I've tried the obvious RH in the jug, LH on sloper, RF cammed in away back.  RH crosses to the intermediate pinch then tries to go again for the good one next to the crimp.  But I'm sooooooooooooo stretched I'm not even sure I can reach.

So I tried LH on sloper, RH on intermediate pinch, RF cammed in the jug which I still haven't done but seems more feasible.  Getting out of this wouldn't be the crux the definitive guide describes though but is still plenty hard enough for the grade I reckon.   Is starting like this cricket?  The guide says start from the jug but doesn't specify which body part has to be using it  :whistle:

edit: I'm 5' 6" btw.

I can't remember specific holds, but once I'd got really stretched out to gain decent crimps, I dropped a hand back down low in order to stop swinging off when releasing the RF heel-toe.
