Are you suggesting everyone else dynos??
It's not the sequence I used, but I did it static.
Did he get it in the end?

I slapped for the ledge and have seen two other people do it with a slap. The footholds are so poor that I think it is significantly harder (6b?) to hold the positions statically. He didn't make it but I'm sure he will do it soon.

I did it statically, but with right hand where his left is and left hand on a shit pebble - felt quite hard but not quite 6a.

My mate did it statically and I seconded it statically with one fall. I have only ever even managed to boulder out one 6b bpoulder problem. It felt about 5c statically which would tally with my ability at the time and taking two goes.

Sounds like static is the way then! I'll have to work on my footwork and try it again.

theres like three crap crimps up round the hight of his left hand, choose your two and chose your smears and balance up.

I tried to dyno and decked. My advice is no dynos - work it out.

Obviously being 6'2" helped, but I pulled up on the small crimp to the right and slapped.
