Miles' Slab

Brilliant problem. A beautiful smooth slab and no nasty pebbles.

But how the hell are you supposed to get started? The only way I managed to get anywhere was through being naughty with 3 mats... Are hands involved in getting stood up or is it just a jumpy rockovery thingy?

 :shrug:

Oooh look, 'tis me:

jumpy rockover. some people seem to use RH undercutting the foothold to pull on and then let go of it once moving. The start is the easies bit mind!

Cheers lad. Well, I can't do the rest of the problem if I can't do the start!

There is a vid on Yorkshiregrit.com of someone doing it.

Which, rather cunningly, I can't watch, because:

Quote from: Quicktime Popup
To watch this video correctly, additional plug-ins need to be downloaded. However, this plug-in is unavailable on the Quicktime server.

Computers eh?  :wank:

Just download it manually from the quicktime site.

I don't know what I'm needing though!

If it stores the video in cache, could I copy it from there and watch it in a different player?
