i think somebody chipped trigger cut?
October 22, 2008, 12:05:37 pm
was at the cave (parisella's) sunday eve and was finding the first move of trigger cut particularly easy. although i was initially pleased about this i had a little look at the hold (starting left hand) and it looks like the left end of it has been enlarged meaning i can now get four fingers in it. am i wrong? i hope i just got a bit stronger.

I've always thought you were strong Ben.  Maybe your fingers have become smaller?

It felt marginally easier to me to pull on recently .Though I would hope everything should feel easier after training.

Ben (and Monolith), I think you boys are just getting stronger (Either that or a bit of 'vodka lightness' after a heavy weekend on the pop!).

I texted Doylo (who is at the Cave) and he said the hold felt unchanged to him.  :-\

I'm just stunned he managed a night out til 6am and then was at the tor and rubicon only a few hours later (getting a not inconsiderable 7c for his troubles). Weird, weird man.

Or striking while the iron is hot... (or should that be while it's cold, dry and windy)
