[at-l] A REAL question

[nealb at midlandstech.edu (William Neal)]

Bring along a light weight rope.  Most camping supply places or military
surplus will have parachute or other storng cord that packs down in a small
space.  Don't use Wally-World rope.  It is usually bulky.
 
Climb and haul up your pack.  Or lower and go down if you are at the top.
I've used this technique for a number of years.
 
Or if you're lucky to meet nice people, bat your eyes and get them to help
you.

OK, this is actually on topic people, so don't have a heart attack or
anything. 

It's kind of stupid, but I gotta ask.  The Lemon Squeeze.  How does a 5'
tall girl do this?  Apparently, after the squeeze, there is a vertical wall,
how, if I'm alone, going to get me and my pack up said wall.  Osmosis?
Levitate? Bring along Rhett and Ashley?  AND, I hear/read that there are
some hand over foot climbs and Yogi, who is pushing 6' tall states she
doesn't know how a shorter person could DO these climbs.  When I thru-hike,
sometime between now and 2032, I'll be doing it alone.  These climbs I
hear/read are in New England, and I'm sure I won't have anyone around to
help me.  I'm sure I will have pissed everyone off by that point.

Anyway, just a worry.  I worry.
