Are you sure your doing the pinch/twist correctly. I remember trying to learn ladder escape. The hardest part for me was in fact the mount. I could never get it until I found out I was doing the twist/pinch wrong. This tut helped me get it:

… OR, if that doesn’t help you, check this website out: [Tricks](http://www.mastermagic.net/Tricks.html)

- Just scroll down until you find “ladder escape” then select “view 2.” That will get you the first person view to help you see the twist better.

Hope this helps.&nbsp; 🙂

You’re missing the last bit: Use your TH thumb to open up the triangle on your throwhand.
