In reply to Tom Randall - Lattice Training:
1) Facing left, I have to admit to using the flake, until I ran out of leg length, then it was outside foot the rest of the way up. Low arm bar, with finishing holds behind me. Not a cofident solo, please don't make me resit this one.
2) From below I thought the constriction was just perspective messing with me, there's a lovely arrete at the back of the crack, but this stopped at the crux. I should have moved out more, have a bruise on my sternum to teach me that lesson, also my second dropped a prowire behind the chockstone, so I should go back and pick it up, or if anyone gets there first, they deserve it.
Next lesson Crew Cut.
I'm in my second year of climbing, late starter, the presidents crack was my first mistake, I find the security of only being able to fall into, rather than off, an offwidth reassuring. Suggestions around the VS level appreciated.
How far can I go without big cams?
Big thanks for the videos.
