Finally a good video about a figure 4 that's actually logical, all these other videos have people doing them for demonstration in situtions that make little to no sense where a simple dynamic move would suffice.

@routecrafting I know, YT is picky that way. I found it though. :)

@jovino Sorry I couldn't link it, it wouldn't let me add the URL to the comment for whatever reason.

@routecrafting Thanks for the tip. I just found the posting. Interesting stuff.

@jovino There's a great explanation on it in the routesetter forums, by PNW expert setter Molly Beard.

The figure 4 is not a move that I find to be very intuitive. I'm curious how this can be suggested in a route and how the climber would be able to figure out when and where to use it.

Great video by the way. :)
