The Gift
Benny, how tall are you? I can reach that. I don't know which hand I undercling with though -- it may be my left instead of right.
Tbone, right on. Definitely don't want you to spill the beta here. Last time I was on it I was telling my belayer "that move was hard but there is probably some secret beta I am missing ...".
SCROTUMSEEKER, check your PMs.

I'm a hair shy of 6'2". Maybe the left hand undercling is the way to go. I wanted my right hand on that hold anyway. I was just positioned to go up left, and could find better feet that way. It feels like I should be able to reach it, but I just couldn't pull it off. Maybe next time.
But how the hell would you do it if you were shorter. My friend finished the route for me (with much grumbling from the last bolt to the anchors), but he had to aid that reachy move. He's about 5'7", but a much better all-around climber than me.
