Found out today that two growths I had removed during a colonosopy five weeks ago are both benign. And breath...

That really is fantastic news.Genuinely pleased for you!

[nik at work]

I'd agree with everyone else. Climbing schmimbing, that's a YYFY right there Kelvin. Nice one, boom!

[mrjonathanr]

Nice one Kelvin, I bet the birds are singing sweeter now.

On a less momentous note, I got the job.   

[fried]

Talking of Font, just had my best ever day in the Forest (and contender for my best ever) ticking Controle A, Pirouette Cacaouette, Peter Pan, Master of Puppets, La Baleine and L'Oeuf. Finished off with as much of the Petit Bois yellow circuit as my skin could take.

One of those days you wish would never end.

[a dense loner]

Nice! What and where's the second one?

[Duma]

Nice work chris, that's a fine day's haul!

Small but big at the same time

FA of a new 7C+/8A near town. First project of the new year down, and the heaviest (178lbs) I've done something in that range.  Excited to see how summer goes after I shed my annual winter weight   Also heading out Sunday to check out several route projects we bolted/checked out in 2002 and 2003 - at the time we figured them to be 8a(trad), 8b, 8c, and 7c+.  Hopefully I'll report back with 1-2 more YYFY  

[tomtom]

Three excellent yyfys. Nice one!

[205Chris]

Nice! What and where's the second one?

Cheers. Pirouette Cacaouette is at la Mare aux Corneilles, a lone prow in the forest on the right hand side a bit further along from Rocher Mauvais Passage when driving from Font towards Chapelle-la-Reine.

JB recommended it in a thread a few years ago.

I'm so happy.  We've had such a shit winter, climbing season has come nearly two months early!!!  And the timing is perfect as the last two years I've been rehabbing pulley tears...

Oh, the places you'll go! There is fun to be done!
There are points to be scored. There are comps to be won.
And the magical things you can do on that wall,
will make you the sending-est sender of all.
Fame! You'll be famous as famous can be,
with the whole wide world watching you send that v3...

I've recently moved onto an awesome house boat in London and today I tested the cycle route into the city. It's a nice 10 mile ride and mainly off road that takes about the same time as getting the tube.

Plus it saves £7.80 each day.

Sent one of the four at 8a-ish.  Got a good sequence on two others. Didn't make it to the trad route. Next week maybe???

Finally had a decent, pain free storage session! This autumn and winter I've been suffering from: bad knee, dodgy shoulder and pulled muscle in back. Only the knee was climbing related. The  shoulder has been t  most niggly and I was doing loads of stretching and theraband stuff but it got to a point where that almost felt like it was irritating it. Now done 3 climbing sessions and it's got better every time. Today I did loads of the greens at TCA Glasgow,  many on sight or within a few goes.  Felt pretty strong considering my poor amount of climbing this winter for various reasons. Time to switch to power of endurance for the sport and trad.  YYFY!

[Fultonius]

Storage session?? No idea.

[SA Chris]

Is that watching a few episodes of Storage Wars in a row?

Survived this year's downsizing restructure at work. Now I can replace my rapidly-disintegrating car.

Congrats Cheque!

Bloody hell, just had a six volume (edited) book proposal accepted! Great, but also somewhat terrifying.
