Hey, whatīs the chance I might be able to get a dupe of that shot?

During early ascents we used to swing around and go feet first just past where the climber is in the pic. Then we started underclinging the thing on the right side after jamming out a ways and seting pro. The undercling requires turbo power (.13a or b) but you donīt have to grovel (.12c).

I agree with most of the replies...definitely not cheating. Along with taping up on heinous cracks, I sometimes use tape around my fingers to help prevent tendon injury on crimpy sport climbs. Sure doesn't help me climb any better.

It looks like there are two peices equalized in the crack in the pic. Who the hell has time for that in a crack like that? Excellent. :)
