Female's on the tools?

[Old Mill Tree Care]

I can see what Hama's getting at and agree to a small extent but Janey is spot on.

 

I once worked with a 51yr old male climber. What he lacked in sprinter style speed and Olympian style strength, he made up for with wisdom and experience. Because of that, his technique in every task was superbly refined so that everything was done with the minimum energy burn.

Therefore, rather than being a Ferrari at full speed that would break down after 2hrs, he was like a tractor at 12mph, still chugging after 10hrs with no signs of stopping.

 

I think this can be applied to everything and can level the gender playing field.

As a youngster (I'm a knackered old git now) I was a windsurf instructor. Female beginners progressed more rapidly than males because they lacked the ability to just muscle it. Girls had to intstantly use intelligence to refine their technique in order to achieve the task.

Brilliant analogy, when strength is required and you just dont have it you have to think outside the box. Good Stuff Old Mill!

Ginja, would you by chance, be of the female variety?

[Ginja]

How did you guess?

[Lorry thompson]

I would say I used to climb faster but I get the job done quicker now because of experience. Does that make me a girl?
