Clip on Zeke
May 19, 2014, 12:28:14 pm
Hi Everyone,
                    Does anyone have any knowledge on how to clip the mid crux clip? I think this is the 4th clip maybe? The one next to that funny pinch/gaston grip.
In all vids everyone seems to have this pre-clipped.
Any help would be ace!!
Cheers,
Ben

Extend it with a couple of draws, climb up slightly left of where you actually do the moves, clip it at full stretch, reverse a few moves, launch back up into the climbing. This is why it's usually done preclipped - since the clip position isn't actually part of the climbing it makes sense to reverse the 6a part to the floor. Or to the ledgey bit 3ft off the floor if that makes you feel better.

Pre-clip the first 4? That seems a bit ethically dubious.......I guess I you can clip them and down-climb then that would be ok....

Tim is right here, Barrows and Joble's 'ascents' are a joke

Fuck me, I must have missed the memo telling us you only have to make clips on sport routes after the crux.

Am I right in thinking the clip he makes at 1:18 is the one mentioned? And people claim this route with that pre clipped? :???:

It's Mark's rule book you need to consult. Trouble is it is written in Elvish.
