The Famous Grouch
November 16, 2005, 01:01:25 pm
Well that's what they were all calling me when I moaned about being short !

After a trip to Burbage West with a bunch of strong (and tall) mutants, I was incredibly chuffed to snag a wobbly ascent of 'Breakfast' so I thought I might as well join in with the mutants and try TFG, there being nothing else to throw myself at. However after some considerable time going no-where I retired grumpy. The mutants were clamping the right arrete and the overlap on the left to get their feet up but it just felt too far to stretch and even if I could get these holds I'd be soooo spanned that I wouldn't be able to see my feet let alone move them.

Is there an approved sequence for the vertically challenged ? (I realise that I am probably P*ssing in the wind as the problem is way out of my league but you've got to do something to keep warm) :?

Thanks for the pointer !  I've read most of it and am still fairly confused, maybe I'll print it and carry it with me next time.

Assuming there will be a next time  :?
