Work Hard
February 20, 2003, 12:37:05 pm
Since no seems to contribute the beta board, I might as well ask here ...

What is the 'secret beta' that reduces Work Hard from 'bleeding desperate' to 'moderately tricky for a complete punter' ?

It's a given that I'll have to get (much) stonger, lose a stone and have perfect waether conditions, but what cunning technique do you strong boys (and girls (yeah right))  employ to reach the top from the only two holds ??  Intermediate or big slap - an enquireing public (well, me actually) want to know !

dunno but its hard and I can't do it (its a slab, thus does not fit the pre-requisites for a siege attempt).

Hmmm....I'd like that beta too but I'm not sure that it actually exists and Work Hard will always be horrifically desperate, after all it is V11 or something hideous like that....

I think you've just got to pull like you're pulling John Leslie off your sister.

:lol:  

Come to think of it, I don't know anyone who's done it, apart from old Mr Myers himself....I think Play Hard is a bit tricky too.

Dont get me wrong, I'm only interseted in the 'easy' one, you know the one with two holds instead of just one !   work hard / play hard , the key word is ...'hard' !
