Or 'Look mum, no hands!'
When I was a youth, I took one of my first leader falls on the Rasp after getting completely pumped out after the crux. A few years later, Garan told me that you can get a sneaky knee bar rest, which got me thinking...
On this ascent I found four knee bars, a heel hook and a leg jam. So I'm downgrading it to HVS for anyone who's seen this photo ;)
Thanks to Al for belaying and using the remote shutter device.

Gave you a 5 for creativity but thinking of downgrading it a few points as you've now blown my onsight attempt.
Thanks Dan !

That face looks ready to topple with all that weight on it, nice shots (another computer generated composition takes first place tut tut ;-)
