   i’d do the dirty work myself, but i have tried and failed on this one a few times, so i can’t pull the fun punch

   no pinkie
   still my biggest pet peeve ever, seen so many videos of people falling when their pinkie came off

   no index finger
   naturally, this is how you should reach for a far hold (with your wrist curved). reaching for a hold with the pointer finger first is natural because we point with that finger, but actually you should be reaching for far holds with your pinkie ring and middle fingers (as shown). reaching this way extends your arm further because more muscles come into play.

   if the hold is big enough, and not that far away, focus on grabbing holds with all fingers always-crimp, flex, or open hand grip it how ever you have to grip. however; if the moves are easy enough, you can sometimes rest for a crux and save chalk if you climb with out a chosen finger for a move or two (only for desperation).

   climb for fun and knowledge, if you are completely confused im sorry

   Thanks for making cool videos without all the crappy rap music….”Since when did the hood find the rocks in the woods!” Thanks again for not being another “wigga’-pro” climber….

   ya je, truly appreciated that you are not a “wigga’ +pro” climber….

   and its okay if fingers come off while climbing, it happens a lot. typically you do put your pinkie back on when needed (like in the Aragorn video)and that is good. since your index finger was lifted off it shows you grip for holds well, not only because chris sharma does this often, but because you should focus on the middle and ring fingers mostly.

   smoking is bad for your lungs
