It certainly looks a very awkward way of doing it! I found it bad enough facing the other way.

First time I've seen someone doing the "dying fly" to climb this pitch.

I'm with Large Bob on this, does seem a very odd way to climb it.
I see you got up it.

After much trial and error the "dying fly" proved the most successful. Did spin round a couple times as well though.

Thin clothing choices. I remember Javelin Jacket and Tiso Breeches
