Meh, chinups... At the kind of grades we're talking at here, I don't know that being able to crank out an extra five chinups really makes a huge difference, once you can do at least three or four. I'm living proof - I can (well, could before my arm went to shit) knock out a couple of one-armers on a bad day, and I have trouble consistently climbing 25. Why? Because my technique is shabby.

Also, I second a "Huh?" to Mr. Bob Saki - Electro Rooter is by no means a slab, although it's only maybe a bit past vertical. I don't mean any insult, but when you say you climbed it on top rope, do you mean you climbed it clean with no falls, no hangs, and no "positive pressure" from the belayer? If so, well done! :)
