tht is an ingenious way of getting over the top tho ive neve found it tht necessary! I'll tell my bro hoo needs a bit of help!

Yup, the crack (i think the face is called the warm up slab?). The belly flop -> rolling your legs up so that you're lying down -> stand up.
Not elegant, but feels more secure than stepping up when you only have a slap for your hands ;)
