Sometimes you can make your contract with a less than powerful hand – but you will need to finesse. Sustained and devious. Up the crack with increasing commitment until you can move R into the upper crack. With small to medium wires and CD’s (with a #3.5 to protect the step R from the top of the main crack), the pro may be adequate – maybe a bolt should be placed.
