Do you know if it's one of the holds you'd use if you go out left too? In terms of right hand movements only, I went from a little rat crimp on the left wall of the groove to an intermediate on the flowstone sheet to a more obvious lump/horn/bobble thing on top of a bit of the flowstone sheet, and then eventually to a sidepull in a crack.
how many sessions have others spent on projects at their maximum?
So turns out that is 10 sessions! Two of them however were basically write offs without meaningful attempts due to conditions, and with what now seems to be really promising beta I have only had two proper goes. Perhaps the learning point here is that I am pretty poor at redpointing, and if I had figured out that move a while ago I might have done it already. This is the longest I have ever tried to do something though, so maybe for a first limit project not so bad? Previous personal bests have been 7c in a session, one in two goes, one in five. I certainly think it is worth continuing given the tangible progress. With Shark as the obvious outlier, how many sessions have others spent on projects at their maximum?
if you’re enjoying it why stop?
lovely bit of crimpin’

After reading about Ondra's advice to move on from a project after 10 sessions, I thought I'd take stock of how many sessions I've had on Fighting Torque.
Bear in mind that Ondra is still in his physical prime age, has never had a serious injury, and – at the time when the advise was given – had never experienced a period of stagnation. For a young climber with plenty potential for quick physical and technical development it simply does not make sense to siege: why siege when you can just wait a few months until you are clearly a better, stronger and fitter climber?

What are you defining as young?
