You do have such a way with words! Umm, I don't know if this applies to you
guys at all, but try and use the weight to your advantage. Istead of trying
to lift all the weight, try and swing with the weight. Use the battery box
(I mean RCX) as a counterweight. I was having trouble engaging onto the
second rung when Jeff Elliot reminded me that the rules were changed to
allow starting on two rungs. It became much easier to unhook the first claw
and swing to the third rung...

Chris gets points for doing things the hard way! There should be a prize for
