Terry Paholek on Spectre (V13)

Here is a vid Terry Paholek on Spectre.  I was working the problem with him my last time in Bishop and we made good progress (most likely due to our last names both being Ukrainian!)

Notice the lack of a shoe on his right foot. With a right climbing shoe on, most people’s right foot can’t fit deeply enough into the starting hold to do the second move so the secret to sending is taking off the right shoe.  Believe me, barefoot is good, although it makes the already dicey topout into a bit more of a nailbiter.
