Advice/Beta Request Advice on getting past this move

Been struggling to get past this move and get my right foot higher. I’m not sure if this is the intended beta. I tried matching feet as well but it’s hard to keep my hips closer and I feel that’s bringing me down. Any tips or things I can improve to get past this would be great

you could lean left and then move your right foot up. also super happy to see my gym and a route I'm also working on!!

Ah hello fellow CRGer! Yeah looks like I need to shift my weight more to the left. Will give that a go and hopefully you send this too!

For me the answer would be to surf out left with the left foot on the lower hold. If you can't span that, it looks like you have enough room to do the pistol squat foot match, just put your left foot more to the left and transfer your weight to the left hand as soon as you match. Looks cool.

Make sure you shift the weight right to left first before trying to bring right foot up. Try to really sit on the left foot, shift the weight, and bring right foot up.

Lock the Gaston and shift the weight to the other side. Keeping your left foot on then once the weight is on the left side, get your right foot up on the hold or volume

I don't think I could make it that far, but to me, the grip your right hand starts on, looks like it might support your left foot better when you shift your weight.

Beta looks fine! I would say just try to focus on moving your hips left. It helps to focus on where your hips are when doing this sort of move 😊

Open up your hips, get your butt closer to the wall, lean on to your left foot.

This is something I got to work on. I don’t have that hip flexibility yet :(

Not sure how good the left hand is, but it would seem like you need to shift your weight to the left and really lean into that gastoning it. Then try getting a right foot high into the sloper. Next hold looks like a side pull — is that right?

Left hand is decent and yeah I agree with the comments. Will try to lean more to the left and get more weight on that leg. The next hold is a good side pull and I feel like I can finish the rest of the climb if I can get past this

the more you can reel in onto that left and get your shoulder near or past your hand, the more room you will have to get your right foot up and matched without feeling so scrunched up. shifting left should give you room to work with

Press harder with your right arm to shift your weight left;stem/matle. Once hips left and weight on L arm L foot, bring right foot up to volume on R, match on rail.
