+1 I concentrate and concentrate. And usually end up with a nick or two. If I put it into autopilot, pretty smooth.

Kind of like when I first started doing ironwork and had to learn to walk the I-beams. I was nervous as a whore in church and would look straight down at my feet as I took a step. An old timer told me to look 6 to 8 feet ahead of where my feet were, He said,"Your feet will take care of themselves". and sure enough they did. I got so good at it that they nicknamed me "Cat" because of the way I got around on the iron...... and no.... it wasn't on all fours.

Thats funny. A mental image of Jimmy clinging to an I-Beam 80 stories up, shaking like a Chihuahua. Originally Posted by JimmyHAD

As a person in the legal field the first thing I noticed was there is no safety equipment and the second thing I noticed was a lack of ink.
Hats off man. Now back to the thread.

I've always thought that the harder it is to stop the bleeding, the more important the event that you are just about to attend.

I noticed it because I do wallclimbing. Most of the time, safety equipment isn't actually needed, and makes you less careful. Originally Posted by singlewedge
