So close! you'll get up it soon, I know.

I don't know if it helps, but the times I did it I was right side in to the roof (I think) and took more of a deep, tunneling approach following my feet, i don't think I used that face hold to the right. I forgot to look, did you place somethin in hte roof or depend pn the leeper death bolts, seems like you had a big cam up there in an earlier photo. I always used the bolts because ther weren't big cams when I first did it.

Monster truck unavailable?

thanks jaybro!

yeah, placed cams up there.....was the first time depending on them solely, and had to rework the rope management....

rope on the wrong side of my leg on one attempt, and then kicking the cam into a weird angle on another....luckily i was able to 'correct' it with my foot before falling.

i think a 6 friend, an old 5 camalot, and a new 6 are what is preferred; especially over those manky old bolts!!! yikes

i did try the right side through the lip (and the entire underbelly) the trip before but still struggled....

not sure what the deal is with the monster truck...thought it was working?....ill check it out

cheers,

patrick

edit: clicked the link and it worked for me.....work for anyone else?
