MDUB’s (Mike) variation is going to favor longer-legged climbers. Mike says he has short legs and long arms. Sounds like me. But Mike can nail his variation finish while I feel trapped in a splits-like predicament with no spring to start the lift. Understand, he’s suggestion a 12”-18” jump finish off two extremely widely-spaced footholds with nothing but junk and t-nut holes for handholds. “10c+”, ha!

How about an 11a ??? Those little fern leaf natural fossils in the wall are BOMBER! :)

That’s the pink on silver tape right? Are we talking about off-routing the entire black wall at the top? Or just the ledge and “1”? From Tom’s description it sounds like the former. I can picture the move and it seems nice and dicey… Have to try it sometime.

Yeah, Pete, Mike wants you to do a no-black-wall-action finish! To practice, you should stand on the ground and do the splits as widely as you can and then try jumping straight up. When you can get 12” off the ground you are getting close!

Mike must have an extra muscle in his groin.

Extra what? TMI Tom, TMI.

And I agree, those fern leaves ARE bomber.

Yeah Tom, I think that was one of the first things you learned in health class, guys have an extra muscle in their groin….. made specially for reachy dynos. I guess that’s what the kids are calling it now days, right? What???
