It's suggest stopping for a minute or two not at 9 m, but about halfway between the bottom and your 6m stop. It's not an issue of incrementally deeper stops, it's an issue of breaking up the long direct ascents. It's really just a more practical way to slow down the ascent rate. > Rgds from Down Under , iang > PS You may wish to post your response to techdiver if you believe > others may comment or benefit.
