I don't know, I think Sam is about to match both feet on his crashpad

Hitting that tiny pad with both feet, from that height, is a V3 move.

is that crash pad supposed to create the illusion of how tall that climb is, kind of like holding a tiny fish 6inches from a camera to make it look bigger. Other than that, sweet photo.

Ha! ha! ha! Good one, Photon.

The pad is that big washed-out thing in the foreground. The little thing that people are mistaking for a crash-pad looks like a (foot-wiping) carpet-square to me. Plus, that isn't where you'd put a pad anyway.
ok... now I'm confused... what exactly is the crash pad?!?!

whats this problem rated?

I got the EOS with the Sigma'a what a camera and what a lens. I like the shot. I gotta go there some day.

the big washed-out trapezoid in the bottom left of the photo is the crash pad (it just looks weird because the lens is a wide-angle and I was crouching); the little thing at the bottom of the problem is indeed a carpet square. the problem is V8, but the crux is at the top.
