Gads...this is a hard problem at the start!!  I don't think I can do those shouldery moves again-it is tricky tricky.

Does the sit still count if you start matched at the big right gaston, foot on the obvious feature in the cave, off-routing the crimp?

@Heretic -- ask yourself this:  did you feel like it was a v6 from that start?  This problem is a solid 6, some say it's stiff for the grade.

I attribute the V6 to moving into and sticking the opposing gastons, which felt harder than the crimp start and thus my decision to off-route it by sit starting at the right-most gaston.rtm - you got the FA, what was your intended line?

hell I don't remember. I started with my a$$ on the ground in the middle of the little cave, then did a move right (gaston), then a move up left (another gaston), then the crux for me was getting my right foot up onto the face above the cave. I'd have to look at your beta, but for now we'll go with - not valid!! heheh

Damn so you didn't even use the middle pinch? I can see that...it's a little wicked that way but ok~

That start (off the sloped dish, not the crimp) is hard! =^)
