The bottom part of Insomnia
Tobin Sorenson belays Mike Graham on Insomnia. The midway belay was considered legit because there is a solid stance there...almost hand's free...check out the belay seat we all carried around before harnesses came to play.
Tobin Sorenson having completed all the difficulties on Insomnia, 1973. I like the huge cord on that hex in the tight hand section.
Tobin Sorenson cranking the crux of Insomnia, 1973...wearing a swami belt (no harness) a fresh pair of EBs (Ellis Brigham...made in England) and check out that rack!
If you're skinny with no muscles, and don't want to party with that Frankenstein layback, just stay left and jam. You can even place a green Camalot in the middle of the crux.
