    CLIMBING: I wrap my feet around the pole as my calves and upper knee are against the pole for friction. On a couple tries it starts to hurt and I slip anyway! I can't seem to get a good grip on it! When I get up with both my legs on the pole I do a sitting position. Then the tighter I do it my skin starts to stretch/pull in pain! I immediately slide and let go with a tenderizing pain! 🙁

    STAYING UP: I'm not sure if I'm doing the hand positions correctly, but after seeing all these videos I knew I did it properly. Everytime I slip I spray the paper towel with windex and start cleaning. Maybe it was oil from my body? Hands? I don't know!

    In my mind I can do it, but then the slipping prevents me from completing the trick or I can't climb high enough cause it hurts …

    HELP!
