Mandarin is harder for the tall, my knee is almost in my mouth doing that move, I managed it once today but unfortuanatly not from the start

I have just put a video up of the madarine if you are interested http://www.vimeo.com/7821925

my friend is short who tried it, there is a trick to getting your right hand up, thats to get your chest all the way round to the left of the prow, I also found a checky hold that makes the move to the top easier

good climbs…..

I don’t know who is this nicolas m, but it’s not me and yes, this problem is awesome, I’ve tried also ” la mandarine”, the prow on the left, they said 7c+, but if you are short, it’s a way harder, I’ve tried, I need to have harder beta than usual, because I’m short :-S but, this is font, the nature didn’t decide when she put the old on this formidable rocks
