I found this mildly amusing, perhaps I've just got a case of fridayhead.

ah, I remember it well. My first ever lead, dynoing for a sloping edge. That was on the first pitch. By the second pitch I was moving on to intermediate skills, like mono-doigts, La Rose moves and big roofs.

More worrying: "Build up mentally and physically for the jump....The kite should then flop forward and start spinning. Push your right hand forward to meet the left as it does."

The mind boggles...

In reply to Wookie: Trust you to find that! I can just see loads of Men's Health readers being admitted to A&E after trying to dyno up the first rock they can by. "Oh hold on love just want to try this thing I saw on Men's Health.... Ok watch this, slap, slip CRUNCH!!!!"

good old Mens Health - you can rely on them for quality training info. My favorite was "How to develop 18inch biceps in the comfort of your living room using a large tin of beans and a Kays catalogue, all in 3weeks" - works every time!

Interesting. I think when you make the lunge you should also shout "For Queen and Country"

No less interesting are the articles entitled, "turn on your skis" and "tossing a frisbee" Inanimate objects need love too, people.

Get more than 25 feet up, and they panic!
