V2 The squeeze test

Sit start on finger crack deep in the dark and then finish on top in the sunlight. Crux is the entire thing trying to figure out which elbow goes where and how to simultaneously push while pulling and keep your core tense while also being relaxed, and whether to go head first or feet first. Impossible to grade, but worthwhile entertainment If you can't physically fit, a no hands bat hang finish is a worthy substitute.
