    Fun problems, but I do feel that I have to quote the legendary Ricky-O when he says..."Whenever I see someone use that faggy sidepull on T-bone shuffle, I slap their hand away and call DAB!" Nonetheless, I can't wait to get back there.

    Its refreshing to see the number of recently well made videos showcasing the more moderate side of popular bouldering areas. Not often it seems do you see high def footage of V2s =)

    Great video!!!

    Pat C: I'd love to do the T-Bone without the side pull - it's just "that landing", always in the back of my mind that I'd wreck my ankle on that one. Maybe next time.

    BA: Thanks for the nice comment.

    Hey Ben,
    I don't blame you, I've done it with the sidepull as well. I still found the throw without it more exciting and not as hard or scary as you think! Either way you're having fun!

    Since the sidepull was "on" the day I did that problem I, as a person of some height, ask the question: "What throw???" :)

    I agree with Narc! Considering I'm 6'5", I tried the throw/dyno without the sidepull and it felt huge! Maybe I had wrong foot beta or something, but the move with the sidepull felt a lot nicer and less scary.

    Hmmm, I'm 5'10", and pretty much did the "throw" without cutting my left foot. I was matched in the hueco btw!

    I'm 5'11''ish, and the throw felt pretty natural when I committed fully and figured out the feet--helps to have two spotters as well. The sidepull beta felt super wierd.

    Nice vid.

    last time i climbed Tbone was cica 2007/08? around xmas, light flurries falling, in new balances, with a partially torn right labrum, without feet cutting. i'm just under 5'10" and not all that strong. i think the pics are in a shoebox in my basement, or at my mom's house.
