I get it. Thanks deano & neil. I got half way through doing my own MS-Paint diagram, but forgot my trigonometry.

As my profile says, I climb mainly indoors. I did lots of indoor leading at the old West Terrace gym in Adelaide, but that closed years ago. They had a few rather dicey leads (for a gym), and I was pleased to have completed those, given my relatively advanced age (think: your father!) & lack of outdoor climbing.

So last year, I decided to hop back on at Holden Hill. I headed up an easy overhang, 10 grades below my toprope limit. Much wailing & gnashing of teeth ensued. Tears were shed! Pants were s*t. The climb was, how shall I put it, "terminated prematurely" :-)
