Groundhog SS, Brownstones
April 05, 2017, 04:01:10 pm
Been playing on this (its one of NikeAirs non?) recently...

And for the taller gentleman - f*ck me its bunched. Is there any other/knack way of doing the first move apart from pull hard and/or have leg/arm shortening surgery?

I missed out on the fa of this by a couple of weeks, not realising it'd been done, I gave it 7c. At 6' 1" it's nails to get moving, it also depends how thick your beer towel is!  ;)   :worms:

That's encouraging - in the 'it's not just me' way!

Yes - sitting on two mats I can reach the next crimp (rh) - just... which doesn't seem in the spirit of some bunched up torture imposed by the less vertically enabled ;)

Bit of a shame - as it's one of the better lines at Brownstones and the stand climbs really well....
