Trip soloing Rope Eater
This photo illustrates the hands-free knee bar just before the crux of Rope Eater (5.10x). The climb starts with 10-15ft of horizontal jamming up to this kneebar. The crux involves making the transition to vertical crack above. Despite the potential death fall, the entire second half is easy 5.7 jamming. Yeah, I'm wearing a harness because I took the time to place gear on the previous climb.
