The Press - Rubicon Wall
March 03, 2009, 04:49:08 pm
For all the problems that come into the press from below, can you use the slopper thing inbetween the finger rail and the press gaston as an intermediate? It's like a slopper with a bit for your thumb as well.

Can you use the other slopper thing as an intermediate that is  just below the crimp you go for on The Press?

Also, can anybody give me any beta for where to put your feet on The Press?

Yesterday I put my foot on a good foothold, which isnt too far away, and flagged my left foot. This brought me out of the wall abit...Do you get your right foot futher away? so its strechted out a fair bit.

And does it make it harder if you flag with your right foot, or even just keep it hanging.?

I'm not toooo bothered about all of this, it will just save some time next time i go, as I have to bike there from Grindleford.

Cheers

Cheers that video gave some good beta :D

one more thing...It looked like some of the people in the vid was using the pocket thats kind of just above the finger rail, to get the press gaston. I was told that was ''out'', can you use it?

but thanks for that link :)

As far as I know it's only on Tsunami that the pocket is out. The Press isn't eliminate but I don't think using the pocket or not would make a lot of difference as there's that good edge just next to it and you'd only be using it as an intermediate anyway.

No problem. I will be back there myself once I'm uninjured.

Hopefully not. I'm just feeling sorry for myself as just as I was making some good gains I've picked up two injuries at once. A week off and we'll see.  >:(

And now you've got the added stress of working out how to include Liams offer of petrol money into your tax return, the crazy life of an accountant hey?

well you say better and better, but what if this gift pushes Jas over into a higher tax bracket? Things really aren't that simple, not to mention the complexity of the tax laws regarding gifts. I tell you it's a rollercoaster of fun fun fun.

(Although I think you'd be OK Dob as I don't remember my tax return containing an entry box for "Nosh offs")

Maybe you should add in that young Liam must publicly state, "you are a really nice guy" following the exchange of duties and the Catholic boarding school-esque rumours start.....??  :shrug: ;)
