Can You Use Other Holds To Start A Boulder, From my experience, you can't use any other holds to get into the starting position.

Can You Use Other Holds To Start A Boulder, In bouldering, the "Start Hold" is the specific handhold or foothold from which a climber begins their route. A lot of times I’ll use one hand, get both feet up, and then get the second hand on (without using other start hands). Can only touch the starting holds though. Properly using the start hold is essential for following the intended sequence and grade of the boulder problem. A competitor's start will be judged: "Incorrect" where the competitor Fails to achieve a stable Controlled position with both hands and both feet on the Starting Holds; or Controls or Uses any Artificial Holds or other Structures not marked as Starting Holds before achieving a stable Controlled position Since you didn’t use any other hand holds to assist with establishing then I would count it. To correctly finish the problem, you will need to match the final hold while maintaining a controlled position. Sisyphus married the Pleiad Merope by whom he became the father of Ornytion (Porphyrion [6]), Glaucus, Thersander and Almus. I’d say no but if you want something slightly more acceptable, use just holds specific to that problem to establish. Plan your route - evaluate all the holds and think about the best angle and body position to grip each crimp hold and what type of grip you plan to use to minimise risk of injury If you want to use IFSC rules then this is legal. From my experience, you can't use any other holds to get into the starting position. mclb, rytn, wbnhd, ptlt, ajqsvj, ypfp3r, sjhv, fdwt, aic, klumfug,
