Luke getting a bit dynamic spinning out of the wide crack. The 4.5 Camalot Luke is carrying is optional but nice for entering the slot above the lip.
Wedging your shoulder into the wide crack enables you to place gear high and let go with both hands.

Chuck casually resting with a heel hook. You can pull hard with your leg and make a long reach to the lip. I've done it this way, but this time I found it easier to work the crack and face holds just right of the crack.
