[Hide Comment] Nice jug-climbing up to a semi-rest below the steeper bits, then the business. Most people do a cross into a slot, but I think that's easier if you're short (which I'm not). I worked out some alternate beta using a left toe hook to reach a high, right foot chip; 8a this way. Dec 1, 2017

[Hide Comment] I'm 6’1 and have long arms and legs and the standard cross beta felt like the way. Definitely helps to be flexible for the drop knees. Oct 9, 2023
