Nose Clip's

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 90 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.

Keeping a soft palate in neutral position should release the pressure in your ears on the way up without necessity of taking off the clip. Haven't had a chance to practice it though.

This comes naturally once You're used to using the Frenzel technique. You can also just open Your epiglottis as well, as then the air will be allowed to expand into the lungs.

Even if this isn't that much air, it will still be good head-wise. It is for me anyway, upon ascent I also breathe in the expanding air from the mask. (I don't have pipe goggles or anything of the kind, but a plain old sphera. :) )
