After the two threads discussing if the new-school style bouldering problems are 'real' climbing, whatever that is, let's have a thread on routes that have unusual moves.
Baws crawl with its feet first shuffle stands out as a goodun.
Wings of unreason with the dyno.
That boulder problem at The Roaches (might be 'Mushin' but someone correct me if I'm wrong) where the original beta used a double toe hook traverse.
Edit- remembered it's called Thud.
Grand Design at Stanage Plantation- padding up a wall with a run up, then a bellyflop mantle.
Big Air- Plantation again where you've got to jump over a 12 foot void to a single perfect pocket on a blank wall (then top out).
I definitely did a dyno at Almscliffe that had a running jump but have never found it again in any guidebook.
There must be loads of these unusual routes all over so let's here them

Feet first toehooking really isn’t that uncommon on harder roof problems or roof to lip traverse things.
A tad peculiar move is the so called ninja kick to gain more momentum on dynos. E.g demonstrated here. vimeo.com/8374073

There's the run and jump start (that's how I do it anyway) the boulder problem Sean's Slab aka Myles Slab aka Directissima on the Mole at Wimberry, don't miss the single left foot hold, your face will be cheese grated!

Crease Direct (f6A+) is still probably my favourite boulder problem, and I wouldn't have had a clue how to do it without the photo in the 1989 guide

Agree - a lovely little problem. Grovelled up it long before the advent of the '89 guide (yes, illuminating photo) only to be mercilessly burnt off by a mate renowned more for his drinking than his climbing. Fag in mouth. EBs like carpet slippers. Cruised it like it was a Diff. All he needed was a flat cap to complete the Whillensian image.
Still, the whole point of going up to Yorkshire was to get burned off by the locals.
Happy days.

Surprised nobody has mentioned the "Fall over and grab the hold on the other side of the zawn" move at the start of Kinky Boots at Baggy Point. Thoroughly scary if you're short. As for heel hooks, Tower Ridge on Beinn Lair might be the only Diff with one. And Pingers at Scugdale surely has to be the only VS with a one finger pull up.

Coe Coenut on Coe Crag in Northumberland.
Climb up to the overhang, and work round so you are lieing on your back on a narrow ledge on the edge of the overhang with your feet into the crag and your head at the edge of the overhang. Then stick a jam in above the overhang and pull round so you are standing vertical above the overhang. All very weird but fun.
It may not be doable now due to vegetation and lichen which is a shame, as it was always memorable.

The bit on stalagasurus on tonsai. Where you find yourself looking at a overhanging and seemingly blank wall, then realise that there is a stalagtite hanging down behind you that you can bridge out to and continue your upward journey. There is a similar move on the 4 pitch humimality on the same wall. Both wild climbs for routes in the low 6's.

Many years ago soloed Great Gully, Craig yr Ysfa (V Diff).
Guidebook quoted Archer Thompson's original description for great cave pitch near top: "A novel expedient is to lay the palm of the right hand on the block and, using the arm as a pivot, perform a pirouette to the south; the climber thus lands in a sitting position, with one leg thrust upwards to the roof to maintain the equilibrium…any Gallio however, will complacently demand a shoulder."
This seemed ridiculous....however moved onto the block and automatically rolled into the position described.

IMHO the fall across the zawn on Traverse of the Gods, Swanage is even more intimidating. Onto rather rounded holds. (However there is often an in situ sling which makes it seem easy.) As further unusual moves the route also has a pendulum and a swim across a zawn wearing only rock shoes and the rope (followed by climbing up and hauling across dry gear and clothes.....the second could do a tyrolean traverse).

The step across the void on Pulpit Groove at Lawrencefield.
For someone operating at that grade, it’s a big step.
Funnily enough, as the decades have passed, the step across has got easier, but the first move to get off the ground has got harder.

No, it's the move up to the break just below the climber's feet. The move you show is generally done by bridging out to the first to the right, then to the left to get up the recess before laybacking from tiny holds reachable above where the climber is.

Ah, yes, I remember now. Goodness knows how many times I did it between about 1968 and 84, but it's still a long time ago ... I never had the guts to solo it because of that appalling sharp-edged boulder at the bottom that could break your back if you came off.

Two odd sequences at Swanage.
On Graduation Day I'd recommend a helmet for the lean back from undercuts on one wall of a cave to get your head on the other wall. Graduation Day (E2 5c)
And on Sons of Pioneers I had to traverse a horizontal undercut chimney thingy (a long bottomless slot under an overhang) facing out to sea. When I reached my leader's runners, which were by my feet, I had to turn round, drop down and extract said runners before yarding upwards onto vertical rock. Unfortunately the runners proved too much for me! Sons of Pioneers (E6 6b)

Long before everybody got strong enough to simply campus this sort of thing - and sightly more involved than HeMa's "feet first toehooking" - the cave pitch on Castellan springs to mind. One could, as I recall - having clipped the odd old peg and got some gear in a vague crackline - reach out to the middle of the roof and grasp a couple of pockets; three or four fingers, I grant you - but not buckets. One could then dangle from these, rotate clockwise [viewed from above], invert [good word, "invert"], and get a foot jammed in whatever crack was out of sight over the lip. Now comes the novel bit. Lacking any other means of ascent one had no option but to shin up one's own leg in order to regain rock. [It would be nice to think that therein lay the derivation of the word "shin" - but probably not.] Sadly, that was as far as I ever got; just when my lodgement in the continuing groove seemed assured, a surfeit of bodily appendages - in this instance mostly my head, and possibly right shoulder - dictated otherwise. I just didn't fit. Gravity was fortunately at hand to get me back to base.

Schusterweg on Falkenstein (an easy five pitch route in the Elbe sandstone) has belly crawls along a horizontal crack, unprotected padding up a sloping face, downclimbs through a tunnel, safe but undignified au cheval thrutching over the top of a split off flake (you can also walk, but the fall is quite long and factor 2 onto the belay if you mess it up!)
Several routes in the Alps famously also have bits done au cheval, e.g. Zinalrothorn North Ridge,
My favourite esoteric move is improvising hands off rests under roofs by head jamming, an essential skill for by lazy but pain tolerant climbers.

There is a whole circuit of this sorts stuff at dame Jouanne in font. Think it's about 60 problems where you don't touch the floor. Lots of weird stuff and quite scary in places. None more so than the grand finale which basically involves jumping off the crag onto a tower to catch 2 massive jugs at about 8m. It's a bloody great leap as well, defo needs a full on run up. Gonna be messy if you drop it, didn't have the balls me. The sketchy mantle onto a mossy shelf 3m above a broken fence was enough harassment for the day. Anyone done the jump at the end? Brave shit that.
Supposed to be a rest day activity but like everything in font, it was bloody hard!
