Proud war wounds!

A little more minor but this has been playing on my mind. On the 8th night of trying and after three weeks of being plagued,I caught the mouse that has been living in my kitchen. All traps that I bought were foiled by this intelligent fellow. I released him this morning in a nearby field. Mrs Donkey and I had agreed that this was the last night of using humane methods. So happy that it ended this way. Long live house mouse (in a field!)

I knew that one lived in the garden. I reckon he walked in through the open door on the last bank holiday. Fingers crossed that he wasn't a pregnant she

YYFY!!!

Just ticked Stu's Roof!!!! first of the grade as well!!

This was my goal for the entire year and I genuinely thought it would take me till December to do it. Probably about 7 sessions over the past 4 months. I wasn't even planning on getting on it today

tomtom · April 25, 2015, 07:22:20 pm

Nice one!

Apparently you have to release them at least 3 miles away or they'll find their way back...

Thanks guys

( apologises for the video link

I'm currently not psyched by the keel. Partly because I'm at full stretch holding the keel and the chip, so any attempts to get to the chip leaves me with a grazed face (and a bruised ego

). I know there's alternative beta but excuses excuses excuses

No top out no tick

more sherioushly looked super smooth there!

Good work.

I can't reach the chip on the keel, so go to the real keel sloper with right hand, then left hand to chip. It's fine that way. Get it done.

:iagree:
I always thought that matching the lip was about 7A on its own with the rest of it making it up to 7B+

And if they don't find their way back they die from exposure or slowly starve if it's unfamiliar surroundings. Good old fashioned mousetrap is apparently most humane method.

As long as I don't have to look at it and say 'I killed that' I'm ok. It's just like delicious fillet steak. Yum.
Oh yeah, btw, I still have at least one mouse in my house

Unfortunately, you have only two choices here.

Live with it.

Get all Medieval on their arses.

Living with it carries some serious potential health/fire/loss of personal property issues.

Go pro early and call in the exterminators before you have to re-wire the whole house.
Get under the floorboards and block up every possible entry point with cement. They will just chew through expanding foam.

Get in the attic and change the insulation (they love to nest up there).

Get out the ladder and check the eves.

Etc

And live closer to a climbing wall.

andyd · April 27, 2015, 12:45:50 pm

Back to catching them I reckon. I have a good system now. I'm not on board with killing them. At least if I release them in the field they have a fighting chance.

Nibile. I don't need to live closer to a climbing wall when the grit is on my doorstep

The only problem with cats is they like takeaways. In that they bring mice both dead and alive home to eat/chase round the house.

Ahahahahahah! It was only a silly reference to Dave MacLeod's advice for progressing in climbing!
Good for you my friend!

Sorry for missing the quote. What does MacLeod know anyway; he's not as strong as you is he?!!!
