Love the photo!! Love that move... almost as much as the next two moves... and the pop to the (r) jug for a quick rest is so good. What a cool line. It also has a deceptively hard start to get into the 1st up ward leaning horizontal!!! Get down, man!! Love this line. Sep 20, 2009

A slightly downward heel toe cam with the left foot makes that move go a lot easier. Nov 16, 2012

Who showed you that trick? Nov 20, 2012

You mean the left the toe cam I'm doing? Nov 22, 2012

Sometime during the previous millenium I discovered that a downward left toe cam (actually in my conception I think it was a bit more parallel with the crack) followed by a clock-like left hand move was the key to getting that move. Tzilla, who also had been having trouble at that spot, was belaying at the time and I think I saw a lightbulb go off above his head, somewhat like a cartoon character.

Great photo! Such a brilliant route.... Nov 23, 2012

Yep, except I pointed my foot downward along the crack instead of straight in, a minor distinction, but it seemed to make the move much more static. It's great when you can sponge beta from one of your buddies and get the send! Nov 26, 2012
