Bouldering is, of course the best way to be a climber without the inconvenience of climbing.  And lets be honest, most of you are doing it - at least some of the time.

For those who've not yet worked it out, here's a quick guide 

• Spend lots of time hanging around places where climbers are.  If questioned, you're not climbing today because you are 'injured'
• Read the books, watch the videos, learn the language
• Offer your services as a spotter and spend your time moaning about how you'd love to join in if only you weren't injured
• Owning several pairs of shoes is essential - of course as you never actually intend to climb in them you can save a considerable amount (and add authenticity) by buying second hand - the more blown out the better

So far, I find its working well.  Have you tried it? Who else do you suspect? Are you/they getting away with it? Any spectacular failures?

If your dog really was sick I am going to wad you for sheer randomness - I will also wad Doylo if he is telling the truth as I have shares in Ann summers and he is making me rich.

Its not random. You've obviously not been to one of his birthday parties....

I can only assume that Nik is in that huddle of girls but because he is a stumpjack we can't see him...

I think the problem you are having with injury is trying to progress too quickly.  It is very easy to want to jump up the grades when you start off but you need to be aware that muscle strength can develop quickly whilst tendons take longer to become stronger.  This imbalance can lead to injury, and thus standing around a lot moaning.[/list][/list]

Gutted. Fucking gutted. I'm going to have to *sniff* get up and pick it up again later. Man, I hope it never happens to anyone else out there..
