‘You have evolved from worm to man, but much within you is still worm. Once you were apes, yet even now man is more of an ape than any of the apes.’ Thus Spake Zarathustra by Freddie Nietzsche. Start up the same finger crack (you must have it dialled by now) then up slab and corner to the right of Guru. Small wires for protection.
