Now that's always an exciting time. Organic or summit else?
Full and half organic with matching chalk bag.. :D

Good choice

At my Osteo appointment this morning he said I was fixed - well enough to start climbing and doing things normally (carefully - but normally)... next appointment in a month!

Excellent news

honroid · March 02, 2015, 07:38:26 pm

AFTER making a sacrifice and moving away from the Peak to be near London so that my other half could complete an MA while I trained as a teacher THEN having to stay down south as she managed to get onto a funded PHD (scarce in fashion / design...) we have FINALLY managed to break free and I have a job just outside YORK starting in June...

...2 hours to Kilnsey and Malham, Yorkshire Bouldering and North York Moors bouldering...

...AND I have bought a van and begun converting for weekend trips around the place. Yee. Pretty chuffed right now. I grew up in Sheff town and love the Peak in a lot of ways but pretty excited about being a little further north and having a whole new playgound of rocks and crags.

Nice one. Brimham will be your local venue, followed by cake and a stroll round Fountains. Everyone's a winner.

The spare original exhaust for my motorbike has arrived, and this means that my mechanic can now cut it and use it to fit the new one that I bought!!!

Just won a magnum bottle of champagne at a friendly bouldering comp!

Nibile · March 06, 2015, 08:01:36 am

Ahah brilliant! Are you hungover now?

sherlock · March 06, 2015, 08:15:45 am

Hungover? On champagne? Fucking lightweight.

Well, it was a magnum after all!

no we all saved the bottles for later (in total there were 2 magnums and 4 standard bottles)

in retrospect i'm glad we didn't have a champagne shower (it crossed my mind but wasn't bold enough to start it) as the owner kicked everybody out relatively quickly after the podium...that would have been the last time he offers champagne at his contests i think.

Recently had my best bouldering day ever: A Northern Soul (on my own so took some introspection to commit to), Titanic Arete (which I'd looked at before and semi-dismissed as far too burly), Iceberg (originally given an offputting grade but actually okay with some great moves) and The Prow (easier but really good fun). Not bad for a fat weak trad climber who lands like a sack of spuds.

Quality day fiend!

Barrows watch it with the sound off for your own sake

I don't understand this comment dense, I watched it with the sound on and quite liked it

Nice one Fiend

a dense loner · March 07, 2015, 08:48:21 pm

It's a sped up metronome of course you liked it! I bet you ran around like an idiot doing 30 sets of 2 finger repeaters while it was on!

tomtom · March 07, 2015, 09:52:42 pm

Effort Fiend! NS is a top tick.

Oldmanmatt · March 07, 2015, 10:15:09 pm

Strong!

But...

Vaguely disappointed by the unusually tame trousers.

Fiend · March 07, 2015, 10:27:18 pm

Sorry....I do like a bit of a twat in all blue tho, yes?

Glad you quite liked the soundtrack Barras, for me it's possibly DnB track of the year already.

TT, thanks, I think I enjoyed Iceberg more though....that extended fingertip mono gaston move mmmmm.
