There's a two finger dimple...you pull over with that and then you flip your palm and get your foot up. As I was pulling over with it my ring finger popped out of the dink so I was mono crimping with my middle finger, and I started to reel backwards and went in to emergency crimping but on a mono, and just pulled myself back the right way...That was memorable!

For me it was my perfect experience of climbing.

It remains the hardest ever proof of concept move that I've stuck with and seen through. The concept is proven now, and the beta is all there, but for me that is the most rewarding part of climbing - when the bridge between belief and reality is just crossable. [1]
