● Atman
Nov 25, 2023 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Top was really hard. The crack abruptly turns into a flared offwidth. I was exhausted and reached for a "mercy jug.". It was relatively positive, but our of line with the crack so it felt almost like just hanging on one arm. Next time I think I should get my left food as high as possible in the crack and try to get a higher jug and keep my body weight above the crack as much as possible. I placed 1 #1's and 2 #2's. An extra 1 and 2 could have been nice but not necessary.
