Then put your left foot out on the large feature/incut vertical rail that faces you and drop your left knee as far as it can possibly go. Straighten your right arm and stand tall. The little incut gaston should be almost in front of your face. At this point you just have to grab it. I started out as being barely able to stick it, but after a few tries, learning the dropknee better, I was able to static it. Bring the dropknee out and bare down on the crimp. Keep your right foot on the "x". Then just stab the right hand pocket/jug which will be near full extension. It takes a bit to find the pocket and it's a bit hard to grab, bu once you get it, it's pretty much a jug. The topout is fairly easy. Just make sure to go up and chalk the holds.<br /><br />Good Luck. Hope this helps.Carlo Traversihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06356926634507645258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901689848591263560.post-45554955040422390182009-04-17T09:25:00.000-06:002009-04-17T09:25:00.000-06:00heard you recently bagged a quick ascent of "midni...heard you recently bagged a quick ascent of "midnight frightening" in eldo... would you be able to spray me down with your beta for the crux? i.e. how you got the upper most heinous think crimp gaston then moved to the good holds above.sock handshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01215898082941273671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901689848591263560.post-12438570803152328122009-04-03T17:07:00.000-06:002009-04-03T17:07:00.000-06:00Carlo, hope you're feeling better after Joe's.
