Hand Jammin' Away

This is me near the top of the climb. The crack just ate my hands and was the perfect size for hand jams, (photo courtesy of Andy Leach.)

Re: feet

I did so shortly after this shot was taken. Had to steady myself to put in some pro, and then I went for it. It is sometimes nice to smear/use face holds for the feet when you hang from the hands too. I'm gettin' there, just need a lot more trad to refine some techniques! Thanks for the comments and votes,

Re: feet

Looks to me like there is no need to use a foot jam on this wall as it so featured. Why would you torque your foot if no need? Save the torture for where it is needed, imo.
