Actually I did - below the Tiger Face wall somewhere. So if you find it, could you please return it. It's about 10cm across, greenish and has 10 legs.

the 6'6" duRon avoided it too.by reaching out left then back right. it was awesome to watch. careful of your elbows going for the undercling. it completely fu**ed mine.

Hey Neil,
know how you feel about TSL - 4 weeks ago I fell 5 times in a day on the move to the high gaston at the last bolt. Not much dummy spit though - more like quiet sobbing and despair!
Days like that seem like such a waste when you go back and do it first shot 2 week later.

The L hand jug variant on Snake Flake is awesome! - I'm full stretch tip to tip reaching back into the R hand undercling - so I can't see it being too popular with the short-ass masses...

[Beta alert] you can do the Snake Flake far LHV even if you're under 6 foot. The mantle into the peapod and the undercling are both eliminated entirely - by using the chalked hold on the far left or just dynoing from the horizontal to these holds:
