Since I shattered both of my ankles, I no longer can jump/dyno. When I try, I only get an inch of lift and several days of pain. Otherwise, dynos would be super fun (especially since I used to be a high jumper on track team).

Next choice would be sloper because I have small hands. I'd rather use any small crimp/pocket/crack than a slopey non-hold! AAAAAGGGHHHH! :shock:
Hauling a big ego up a route adds at least a full grade.
