Higginson scar
June 13, 2005, 07:02:55 pm
OK, don't like getting beta, but was working this for over an hour on Saturday evening and couldn't work out the sequence to move up left.
Anyone want to help me out before my next visit?

seemed like a balancy foot and hand sorty outy thing while trying not to tip off backwards. once you are right you can rock up. i remember sticking my left foot quite far out and then faffing about until i could weight it properly.

I think there's a bit of a right toe hook/scrape involved to make the move left easier

Looks like she's got a heel hook with her left too there, is that right? I was heel hooking with my right which enabled me to move my right hand up, but couldn't shift my weight across enough to be able to use the right hand side pull.

Calum is bang on the money. It's just tricky getting your balance right. This time of year that manky sidepull will be hard to hold - give it a miss until the autumn/winter when the crag comes into condition.
Luckily, you can still get good nick in the mountains all the way through the summer. Take some midge repellant if you go out in the evenings though.
