"Double double, toiled and troubled my way through the satisfying and bicepy line Double Pounder 8Aโ€”a low start to Pounding Sand, a 7B I sent two years ago. Returning to this line with half the beta catalogued required only two sessions to send from the depths below. To unlock the send, I used a nearly impossible hyper-extended insert into a mail slot, creating a double-useful hand stack. After reaching the lip, it took another 20 seconds and a dozen finger crawls to secure the victory match. This was a very rewarding, ultra desperate, and somewhat ugly send."
