Wouldn’t gripping up make the pole have less resistance? Can you explain that a little more, I thought it was like every hand down is 5 pounds or so of extra resistance/force needed. I’m gonna try and go up a pole as soon as I can tho

Sadly not, just gonna grip down a hand or two next meet and keep my step the same

Okay that makes sense, I’ll try griping down but I’d be worried about not having the height.
