If your at your limit it doesn't matter what type of hold it is, its going to be hard. But all holds suck in this sweaty sack summer.

i dislike shallow pockets, especially if the feet are likely to blow.

I'm the only one who chose tiny crimp? That has to be the most painful, least fun option up there.

always been scared to work pockets very hard indoors, as such they are a weak spot. Would much rather hit a sloper then a shallow pocket.
all you haters die slow.
