Goes to show that a lot of the excuses we all come up with are just that.

I found this really inspiring, it's really impressive that she got stuck into a route with one of those lowest of low percentage moves...an all points off dyno to a slot and that wasn't even the crux. Adam Ondra onsighted this!https://vimeo.com/groups/113227/videos/53636034 and he does the dyno move almost statically. Does anyone know the reason that he skipped the clip before the crux making a monster run-out
