jump up? not down? yes. here's a picture, or two, to help visualise.
so basically to get up, run towards wall, jump and kick off at an angle, and grab the ledge with both hands. from there, just pull yourself up from ledge to railing and swing yourself up, clamber over railing and viola. easy.
was able to successfully do it on both legs, kicking off with left and right leg, before when alone. hmmm. does it make a difference which leg you kick off with? maybe not, but for me, if i run towards the right, i kick off the wall with my left leg, and if i run left i tend to kick off with my right leg.
so anyway, i was with simon and i felt an urge to brush up on climbing up and maybe show off a bit. ^^ so ran towards the right, cos i felt stronger kicking off on left leg, jumped and kicked off and for some reason, forgot to grab with both hands. the reason i think that is important is because grabbing with both hands tends to align the body more in line with the angle of the ledge so you don't swing around so much, whereas just grabbing with one hand, i tend to grab and fall off. and that is exactly what happened: grabbed and fell off, and i think i landed more on my left leg and strained me hammies.
lesson learnt: need to work more on the no-mindedness. having someone around should not disturb concentration. that is a bit disappointing, although not unexpected.
or maybe i should stop being such a monkey. :D
