Captain Hook [Suggest Change]

Hello, if possible could I get some advice on Beta for this problem.

I go to the left crimp by a left foor drop-knee then toe hook on the starting jub with my right to go to the right hand crimp. But for me the crux comes now... What does one do to punch to the jug/rail? I've tried crossing my left foot to this positive foot ledge (with my right stil in the toe hook) before removing my right foot to swing it around the corner for a toe hook. However, the foot ledge for me results in my both being fully extended and barn-dooring. Are there any other suggestions or just fight through it?

Any advice would be most welcome. Furthermore, if the "beta" I've given above is unclear please let me know and I'll try to rephrase it.

Much appreciated. Jul 14, 2004

That's pretty much the way I do it. For me it is hard to toe hook on the Arete without cutting. The key is to just control your swing and squeeze on the two holds to keep you off the ground. Good luck Sep 9, 2004

For the V5 beta, you can actually do the entire problem with both feet hooked on edge. To do this fine method (not really), start by getting your feet established in the double hook using the ground and a few holds on the roof. Once in the hook, bring your hands back down to the start for the official beginning. Then it's pretty easy to crimp your way to the finishing lip all the way from the start. This is a total party trick and fairly ridiculous, but lots of fun! Jul 6, 2008

Alternative semi-tall guy beta: I'm not fond of drop knees, so I go right hand 1st to the sidepull, match my feet on the low rail, cross left foot to jib, right foot to toe hook (crux, it's static but long and tensiony), match toes and finish by punching it to the jug with right hand. I felt it solid for V9, but I think the only real hard move was getting the right toe set around the corner. If you're 5'11'' or taller, this sequence will go super easy, no foot cutting required.

Did this problem today. I felt dishonest taking 9 for what Matt has suggested above. I suggest V8 (I am six foot). I do think it's 9 given the beta posted by AC. Feb 22, 2009
