I imagine that most people who climb could do it, once the technique is learned

i think you put too much faith in your fellow climbers, maybe 1% of the climbing population could

is this based on your success rate in the school yesterday? when you said you'd been getting into playing with rings thought you were on about your recent exit from the closet.

p.s. i was well psyched in yoga - thats the first time i've been able to do that thing where you sit with your legs in front of you then lift yourself up off the floor balancing on your hands

try doing that on the rings and spread your legs in and out, like scissors. another good exercise.

The powerathlete guy's a fuckin' tennis player, and you'd learn more watching JB's shadow.
