Perfect hands to tight arm bar - probably more pumpy than techy I would have thought. I reckon his second (the smaller female belaying) would find it a lot harder.

It isn't possible on stupid, toothy Victorian granite.

Have you climbed on Aussie granite yet Oli? It usually has teeth. A lot of the wide cracks are rounded out bum-flares so you end up with your whole leg shoved in a sharks mouth while you squeeze your foot into a vice lined with broken glass!

The best footwear for the job is loose fitting, thick, and at least knee-high......Miuras wouldn't be my first choice.

Maybe somebody should design a shoe which is designed for cracks...

I have a pair of La Sportiva Kaukulators that I wear at Buffalo and occasionlyat Booroomba.

They're excellent and my ankles love me.

Totally with you on this Damo.

However, there is something strangely empowering when you keep climbing with shredded limbs.
