How could he possibly do it without the weight belt? We all know it's permanently attached... and this isn't a dig! Quite the contrary, this makes it all the more impressive! Who else could do it with weight added to the sum total of 13 stone??? Not I!!! GO JIM!

Jim · « **Reply #29 on:** June 25, 2008, 09:31:14 pm »

Had an extra weight belt on today as had curry take out Monday and Chinese take out last night and currently shoving toast with a lakes worth of molten butter down my gob as I type. current weight back up to 13 1/2 stone

Good effort! although texting Dobbin to show how nice the weather is in wales when we were looking out at blanket rain was a tad harsh!

Jim · « **Reply #31 on:** June 25, 2008, 09:52:57 pm »

sorry about that. it was raining when we got there and had drove through some heavy rain but it soon turned into glorious sunshine and was sunbathing while resting

Well bloody done beast. You have now officially burnt me off!

Nibile · « **Reply #33 on:** June 26, 2008, 12:06:32 pm »

good good effort, really impressive.
go on!!!

Jaspersharpe · « **Reply #34 on:** June 26, 2008, 12:20:20 pm »

That is a bloody good effort. I'm finding it hard enough to climb 7C as it is. If I strapped 3 stone on then I doubt I'd get up a 7A.

Nice one Jim. Drop some weight and crush 8B.

Pantontino · « **Reply #35 on:** June 26, 2008, 12:46:55 pm »

Good effort Jim! Welcome to the 'Rock Atrocity 13 stoners' club (a pretty exclusive organisation, i.e. it's just you and me kid, unless somebody else knows different).

I nearly came over to the Ormes last night, but went crag checking at Benllech instead as I thought it would be too warm. Maybe it was, and maybe you were just on fire!

jimbo · « **Reply #36 on:** June 26, 2008, 01:04:46 pm »

I am definitely in that club. Possibly the original member.

Thought I might as well blow my own trumpet (like Cofe) again as I have achieved another long held ambition and done rock atrocity today.
YES YES FUCKING YES!!!!
I finally got to try some other problems in the cave for a change

Oh yeah, it was witnessed as well

With which downturn shoes though, Dragons?

Good man!

'96 or '97 for me I think? Leo and Tim Emmett were there. Leo couldn't do it; clearly too skinny. He needed to beef himself right up with a pie and pint diet!

Jim · « **Reply #39 on:** June 26, 2008, 03:15:34 pm »

With the dragons. They are awesome. Am still going to get some solutions at some point I think.

Leo can't beef himself up for shit

I've had a bit of YYFY myself today, I know it's not as massive a send as RA but I finally got Gorilla Warfare after a seriously long time.

This is a problem that:

I selected specifically as it's completely not my style (thuggy steep shizz) and I wanted to get better at it

I nearly had sorted but then had a v scary fall as a result of snapping off one of the top crimps

Has shat me up ever since

I finally did today

A pint of beer has rarely tasted so good as the one I drank tonight. I drink to YYFY and all that have felt it. I know this feeling will be gone in the morning but I'll be enjoying it while it lasts.

Peace.

Nice work! GW is a great problem.

nik at work · « **Reply #43 on:** July 21, 2008, 07:11:30 pm »

:thumbsup:Had quite a YYFY few days.

Vitruvian Man (7c) at Trowbarrow on Saturday
Then today:
Started with Poison (7c) at Warton
Then E-fix (7c?) twice at Warton - question mark because it is graded 7c+/8a but felt the same as poison to me

Sadly didn't quite manage Iron Man (8a) at Trowbarrow but next time, and that really will be yes yes fucking yes

Only really started getting out again regularly about 5 months ago and was delighted with sprokling up an occasional 7a at the time. Never thought I'd climb 7c again, and maybe (just maybe) 8a....

Good times

Fiend · « **Reply #44 on:** July 21, 2008, 08:33:00 pm »

Numbers numbers, nice one, that Vitruvian looked a bit steep for a slab.

nik at work · « **Reply #45 on:** July 21, 2008, 08:41:33 pm »

Well they were really nice problems also obviously, but it's always nice to reach a new number, or even revisit a long forgotten one. I'm trying to broaden my scope slightly beyond slabs, still staying well clear of cracks mind.

Sloper · « **Reply #46 on:** July 21, 2008, 09:17:47 pm »

Cracks are where the money is at.

YYFY was going on last night. Did Our Father's Arete at Caley then went on to crush New Jerusalem. Felt a bit easy, mind. Think its cos I can reach the high gaston from the floor standing on my tippy toes. All my own beta too

dave · « **Reply #48 on:** July 28, 2008, 12:01:29 pm »

i hope you didn't pull on with the high gaston on NJ or you've missed 50% of the moves.
