good to see a shortie using what is often derided as the so-called "lanky" kneebar sequence. this is a great problem.

I see what you did there Dave.  8)

I wasn't aware that it was thought of as the lanky sequence? It's been favored by quite a few shorter people hasn't it?

the reason you don't associate with them is because they are too far away

The lanky kneebar sequence is leaving it in for the next move, as well you know.

I disagree. I think it's good to see the effort that's gone into the ascent.

This is becoming a trade route for birds. Good effort!

I can only think of one, Ray Cowie. Powerband is never going to be popular with the ladies, it's just too reachy for most.
