Armbar/Armhook/Forearm Hang

Post by whatahutch »

Just wondering what people think about using the forearm hang. I use it a lot. I used it three times (three different places) on Ro to send (TR). Used it twice on Whipstocking the other week.
It works for me. Does anyone else use it?
Do you think it is a valid technique to get the send?
It definitely helps me fight the pump.

If using a bat hang to help take a rest is OK, then sure.

I once heard Rick Faulkner say, "I could hang here all day." :lol:

Besides the awful rash it leaves me, I feel free to throw it in when necessary! Hell, if you can rest by hanging on ya teeth, then do it. It is all fair game!! :mrgreen:

I LOVE pumpy climbs where I can do this b/c it gives me a prayer. Armed my way up Ro for sure! So good to put the pump on the shoulders and off the forearms.
efil lanrete... i enjoy the sound, but in truth i find this seductively backward idea to be quite frightening
