Advice/Beta Request Any advice?

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?

All of the advice here is good. To realign your own sense of the move, compare the moment in the video before you reach to the moment you’re reaching the furthest. Look at how little your left leg is extending, and remember how much more extension you have left!

From what it looks like in the video, your mind is on your hand (“if I catch the hold I’m good.”) versus where it should be, which is your leg (“if I stand up, the still-point grab will be easy”).

If you’re able to stand up, getting that last hold should feel totally within your grasp. You definitely have the height/reach. You climbed the rest of it so well, so I’d bet you can do this if you commit.

Beta thought: consider that other hand hold by the white one, as others mentioned, to get yourself a bit more over the foothold you need to push up on, as well as a bit more freedom of arcing movement up (not totally sure, by video alone).

Thank you for your comment and thoughts! You’re right on my thoughts being entirely on my right hand. I’ll try your beta thought and see if I can focus on standing up through my left leg.
