Chainsaw

Post by steep4me »

Which hold do you clip the last bolt (before the chains) on Chainsaw Massacre from? There is a small right hand with a sharp point on the side, or one higher for your right that is a little bigger. Do people generally clip with their left hand here (passing under the right hand)?

I have seen that done, but I generally (try) to clip with my right. I would guess it just depends on what hand has the most strength left in it.

I clip the last bolt from a good left hand, the bolt will be at your waist. I use to clip from a shitty left crimp lower but that sucks way too much juice. Next you'll be asking what hold to clip the chains from...pick one they all suck!

Good luck with that route...fun :D

OHHHH yeah, I was thinking about the chains (even though you said "the last bolt...not the anchors.."). Yeah, if you go above the bolt you get a one pad incut "jug". If you have anything left, you can shake out once and chalk up! ....maybe.... :|

Never been on the route, but if the fall is safe, maybe skip that clip?

I can't believe that someone is asking this question.."Which hold do I clip of off." Unbelievable!
