Has anyone progressed since this thread started? It's been a few days now.

Day 3 on Sardine tomorrow. All aboard - its 1991 again.

On one of the training threads there was a discussion about understanding who you were getting advice from, and whether it was from someone who was climbing hard vs. knew what they were talking about, vs. .....

Just to be clear, you mean getting advice from someone who climbs hard, rather than climbs HVS?  :)

On the other hand, someone like Ben Davison who set about training for 8c+ is worth a listen to. IME anyway.

Thanks though, Kelvin!

Completely off-topic, but up til now I'd been reading Ben's username as "Bend-a-vision". I just assumed that he was particularly supple or something... carry on...

You're not the first... A bit of an oversight on my part, that.

A ridiculous oversight, how could you not have known people would misread your name, and with an additional "i". "Bend-a-vison"?

I must confess, I was part of the bend-a-vision camp as well :-[

Yeah what kind of idiot creates a user name like that.

I must admit I always read your username was Jasper's harpe ;)
