	Tony Simpson: He actually did it 3 times and was static no wild dyno for the top(ish) hold. (he did it 3 times because obvious 1st time but then wanted video which i did for him on my phone but fuc*** up saving it so he did it once more with me using his phone instead. Im sure he will load the vid soon). [1] References [1] https://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,10607.msg177297.html#msg177297
