The mind boggles.
Back in the day before someone had invented John Bacher and his ladder. We used to climb gym ropes or use an old climbing rope with knots roughly about a lock off apart. the idea was like a Bacher ladder but you are in a stronger pulling postion with your hand. Once at the top by any means, you can negative one armers all the way down.I think Hull Uni gym has gym ropes ( Well it did 20 years ago )

I'm actually really surprised I only need 20kg assistance on the one armers - as I've always felt much weaker than that - and never really trained for pull ups.. I guess years of increased grade climbing has naturally increased my arm strength..

Unless you're using a rescue pulley of some sort I'd imagine there's a bit there, if not a 'lot'.
Hull Uni Sports hall has a breeze block wall (outside the main hall) c. 20m long 2m high with a load of bolt on holds and chalked brick edges on it.. I have to admit I've only pulled on for a play once after i was playing 5 a side there.. Its not great and I've never seen anyone else on it (so I felt a bit daft playing on it!).
I've paid my dues in that corridor!

In 1988 (ie quite recently) there was a conpicuously positioned tiny brick training traning wall in the corridor by the main door, usually occupied by spanish(ish) guys likely to be known by some on here... I spent approx 2 mins on this (but was quite good at deadlifting). Unless I dreampt the whole hullish interlude after a quiet pint with ollie reed. The more I think about it the more likely this seems.
