opposite-side climb: |
 |
|
from opposite-side knee hook (shown in picture), reach free hand up to grab
fabric high above knee. then, while clenching hard with knee and pressing
knee down slightly to keep pressure on fabric, release the under-knee hand and
reach up to grab fabric beside the first. straighten body until you're hanging
free. then invert for the next knee hook.
this really is easier than a hand-over-hand climb, but it may not seem so until you figure out how and when to press down with the hooked knee to help gain height. n.b. unlike the same-side climb, it is natural for this climb to alternate sides, because straightening the knee shifts the fabric to your other side each time. |
