John Allen on the name:

I nearly did it quite quickly but I jumped off because I didn't want to dyno for a hold. It [dynoing] was almost thought of as slightly bad style in those days which is ridiculous, as now it's almost an art in itself, but I thought I'll jump off and I'll do it alright next time. I couldn't get back up there for ages!...That was quite a frustrating climb really. That's why I called it what I did, because it went on and on and on!

Harder variation to The Wheel of Life (8B+)

'Wheelchair' (9a+/36) starts as for the WOL, but halfway through 'Sleepy Hollow' traverses into 'Stimulation' and climbs the whole of 'Stimulation' (with the exception of the first move) till its end, which is also the finish of 'Silverchair' – hence 'Wheelchair'. [1]


Megos made another link-up he called Stimulating Cartwheel (5.14d) that starts on Stuck South of the Border (V12) and climbs the rest of the Wheel of Life. [2]
