fingers. fingers. fingers.

Why does that video look reversed to me
The chain is running in the correct direction for making up in the mouse hole but when he throws it for the make up to go back in the hole to me it looks like it is pulling left spin instead of to the right
I've thrown a few chains but never seen one thrown left

Just looks like very dangerous and hard filthy work to me. Does Look skilled though.

Very, on both counts. You should see this in midwinter at -40.
