But honestly, if you can't do the step across to the flake on Deliverance - a move of about 5c or so - it's unlikely you're going to make it very far once you've got it.
B*llocks. The move from the flake to the top is totally morpho and just requires alot of commitment, good conditions and - yes - some technique.
Ability to reach the flake has no bearing on whether or not someone is likely to be able to make the dyno.

It took me about 20 sessions to do Deliverance and it is probably my most memorable bouldering tick. It was alot harder than anything else I'd done at that time, and when I first tried it it felt close to impossible. Should I have given up as easily as you're suggesting??? I'm glad I didn't. The gradual progression, seeing the moves come together, working out slightly different foot placements, spending about a month being just an inch short on the dyno...were all part of the experience. The top move is "all in the mind". Once I'd done it and knew the dyno was possible for me, I could do it time and time again the same day, and on several occasions since.
Good vid and awesome problem.
