Great technique Jim, wish I was that fluid and fast, that girl in the vid Trev reminded me of my kids stubborn won't quit till they done it great stuff. On a tangent, more women in our profession will be a great thing, power to weight women make great climbers, and maybe over time their lack of testosterone will result in less chainsaw solutions to all that ills the trees. |

Yeah she did try hard hey boa, i thought she'd stop after several seconds of going nowhere, then i almost couldnt watch her suffer, then i had to watch to see her get there! Yes i agree, more girls in harnesses would be a good thing! |

Haha, cheers guys na im 6 foot. It was just a little one for the camera, we were a little hungover (it was Sunday), Ekka took ages to turn up with the camera and we already done a fair bit of climbing. Not that im trying to make excuses... That girl is a goer alright, full points for effort! We call that a modified footlock, its just using the footlock technique on you standard climbing system, as you all must have figured out. Its actually really easy and fast once you get good at it, saves the arms! |
