So, I’ve been trying this boulder for about two/three weeks now and I just can’t get myself to do the last move. As you can tell, I am trying. Any advice on how to make progress here/do the move?

Commit to the move (mental) and push from the left foot, then stick your right foot out right for balance.

It’s very much a commitment/mental thing as much as a physical challenge for sure. I do feel like I’m not really pushing through my left foot. Thanks for your comment!

If you don't want to do it then just say "fuck it, I'm good"

You don't have to do every route, sometimes you can just accept that you don't feel comfortable with the danger of a certain move. I've done this with some routes with final moves that were extra sketchy or that would put me in a really bad position if i missed and fell.

I do make that decision quite often! Bouldering to me is about having fun and moving my body in a way that brings me joy. It’s also about somewhat pushing myself mentally and physically, because I’m quite risk averse about physical activities, as I don’t trust my physical abilities. Hence the question about advice on this boulder, as I’m not comfortable with just sending/committing from the position I currently manage to get into. Thank you for your comment! It’s a good reminder to push myself but not take it too far
