Laughs i want to hoist myself up, but my arms, theyjust will not obey. straight, straight. i think i am going to rip my pants! this is tough! the numbers of climbers like prasalan have fallen dramatically as the younger generation have gradually moved away from manual jobs. very strong, indeed! it is a bit of a marathon. you need to think of it as a marathon. you have about 20 good metres to climb. if you run out of strength halfway, it is not going to be pretty. oh, i think that is it for me! p...
