A big deal for me as my skin is usually so soft and sweaty (think recently massaged and oiled baby's bottom in a sauna....errr....actually....don't think about that too much :eek2: ) that I invariably grease off anything before I could get a flapper. Hell I could climb a cheesegrater (assuming it was suitably bumbly V0-) and my fingers would just gently undulate over the serrations if I fell.
So I had to cheat a bit and find something with a bit of a lip and suitable slappy to really catch my skin... Sanctified at Woodwell did the job - what a class problem, okay it's the easiest thing on the roofs, but brilliant movement. Did it twice and tried again to get a video and snagged my finger on the final hold OUCH bloody stung too. Okay I feel some pride but flappers aren't as cool as I thought they might be... :roll:
