I got on Fuzzy Undercling after about 5 years away and when I got up to the no-hands rest, I felt like a total idiot. I couldn't get my knee under it right so that I didn't have to hold on. What was I doing wrong? I think I had my foot out in front of me. Do I need to have it tucked up under me sorta sitting on it?

Thanks, ZSpider

Uhhhhhh?

Maybe its because you weren't spending as much time posting on forums 5 years ago.

I don't put my knee under that flake, I just sorta sit down and wedge my shoulder under it.

Hey Zspider, aren't you suppose to be working? I think my tax dollars are already being spread thin enough!

Hmm... Are you joking? That put's a whole new twist on it. I'm scared I'm gonna get up there and jack around and blow my chances for redpointing the thing. The last time I was on it I worked through the beginning. There's so darn much chalk on it that it's hard to tell what to do.

Thanks for commenting, Wes.

ZSpider, I actually lie down. You can stem out with your other foot and kinda hang out up there. Of course, I've never Redpointed it.

Nah. Haven't had a job since I got laid off from McDonald's three years ago. Hey! Didn't you and Larry climb with Gary a month or so ago? I want to talk to Gary and see if he wants to climb at the Red next weekend. Could you do me a favor and let him know I'm looking for him.

My knee doesn't even reach the rock with my foot on the ledge, but i can just turn sideways and sit down, holding on with minimal effort

is this thread a joke?

i didn't use the no hands rest because im too darn short! but i did kinda wedge myself in and held in with min. effort. great route!!! - matt
