Whoot! That is badass. I haven't managed that yet myself but I've been trying. I find it so tricky to convert my forward motion into an upward motion, rather than just bouncing backwards off the wall.

Exactly! I spent a lot of time hitting the wall with a resounding thud and stubbing my toe, and only got it after a fellow boulderer helpfully explained that I needed to run at the wall from THIS angle and have my right foot land on the wall exactly THERE.

But I got it. Much to my immense surprise.
