What is a 'rose move', and why would it be useful on 'rose and the self employed business man' at plantation?

Just saw it in my quidebook and i was wondering is anyone can help me out

cheers

In reply to cornishben: why would you need to do that? could you not just do it a different way??

If you cant swap hands in a cramped pocket on a traverse it can be the best way - and it looks coool

The Rose move on Rose and the etc is bad beta, and unnecessary.

In reply to Liam Copley: bad technique, surely. my mate told me that you souldnt cross thru your legs on a traverse as its bad technique.

In reply to anthonyecc:
and you should just switch feet instead then?

Wherever possible on a traverse it's more efficient to cross through with either your feet or hands because you end up skipping moves.

Yeah, I thinks it's completely unnecessary.

In reply to GCW/Kareylarey:

Are you both speaking bollocks or from experience ?
 GCW 27 Aug 2008
In reply to Simon Lee:

I did it without, 'cos I found the reach through really hard. But that may be bollox....

In reply to GCW:

Nice one. But can you claim to have done the Rose ? or a set of moves on the same piece of rock. A kneebar rest on Mecca it seems invalidates the ascent.

In reply to Simon Lee:

Dunno, mate. But it felt right for font 7a+, and I only used holds below the top. Have I sinned? Please forgive me, I'll head back now and do it properly in the dark

Genius - I think you are referring to the Face of Business boulder rather than the Bout de Monde
In reply to GCW: This thread is great!

In reply to Robertostallioni:

How would you know, you can't climb 7a+.......
 GCW 27 Aug 2008
In reply to Simon Lee:

Hence the Rose and the etc reference.....
In reply to GCW: As both kareylarey and yourself would say :- "thats completely unnecessary"

by etc I thought you meant Vampire. We are showing our biases in our assumptions.

Like you say - a pair of tits. Nice photo. Is it from the fit birds thread ?
