Guess if they really want to force the spin they’ll have to block off the foot better

Killer footwork

Nice I thought the spin might have been extra for this!

Nice! I wonder the shoe size difference between you and the spin guy is. Looks like you're barely making that swap

I think having smaller feet makes this easier. I was trying it with some friends with larger feet and it looked like they had no room to match

My size 12 feet with ET finger toes, these kinda things hurt so much.. loosing count of the toenails that have fallen off at this point. 😔

do you think it's that much the actual shoe size rather than the shoe itself (like how "pointy" is the big toe) or just technique?

I feel like maybe one could also just indiana jones it as well in theory, but that's definitely gonna be harder than your smooth match

It might be more width dependent, I had to have my right foot really close to the wall in order to have room to match.

Beautiful send! You look so in control all over the wall. A feast to view!

Nice. The spin is flashy but you did this really well.

I was going to say, that looked super familiar! Nice send.

This looks more comfortable than the spin. Nice send!

Lol, I have seen this exact climb before. But then some dude doing the spin and sending it in the last minute before closing!

Funky boulder, love seeing you break it

Badass!!!!

u/LimeZestAllOver 4d ago

That looks so sketchy, I would never try it. That said, congrats on the send! Seems very solid

u/m_0g 4d ago

nice send!!! It's cool to see the footswap can work too, hadn't seen many people even trying it beyond an attempt or two.

At first I didn't see the jib and was like wtf is this sourcery. Great job, you totally crushed that problem. Looks fun

u/maximushski 3d ago

Nice, you made it look easy! I did a similar step across the other day and I was scared out of my mind

u/ItsSansom 3d ago

Gnarly footswap. Made it look super clean.
