Thanks Tomek. Yes, he did do it. I also have done it a number of times. It's rated 5.8 which makes it very moderate. The hand size jams are solid. One time my hand got stuck in the crack, and it took me several minutes to get it out. It had never happened to me before, or since.

Thanks for dropping by Tomek,
Marc

"One time my hand got stuck in the crack, and it took me several minutes to get it out."

that is a weird feeling. happened to me last summer in city of rocks (Idaho's version of Jtree?? :) --thought I'd break my wrist if I couldn't yank it out & fell onto it. Great times. Then there was this finger crack once where I forgot to take off the wedding band (I'm an idiot)...lesson learned. Great shots Marc!

Thank you Radek,
I thought I was the only one with a hand stuck in a crack. I had the same fears as you. I think mine happened because I was using fresh tape on a warm day. I think some of the glue from the tape had gone through the cloth and made the back of the hand stickier than normal. Hey, that may be it felt so easy!!! LOL
cheers, Marc
