If it's not part of the block then it's out, but I think there is a decent 1-2 inch deep by 4-5 inch wide foothold before the top out.
Cheers for all the suggestions guys, just had 30 minutes there and confirmed I wasn't missing anything, I just can't reach the crimp off that foothold. Looks like I'll just have to continue slapping straight up, I'm sure I'll stick it sooner or later.
Damn Nature and its inconsiderate timing! Plus its going to pump a tonnes more CO2 into the atmosphere which is not what the earth needs at the moment. Why can't the geophysicisits have done something about this already and capped all volcanoes so that we can control the release of pressure from the earths core and use it effectively.
I blame the scientists. May as well cut their funding the useless twats.
Take the month's cash, and then live the dream on the ropes. You know it makes sense
