I may be a fat, useless gumbo, but I do go bouldering on real rock

Well are you?

No. I'm 90% dad, 8% lard, 1% employee, and 1% climber. Probably even less than that.

IT must be a laugh a minute out on the crag with these Yanks.

I've been out today. I went to work, lots of tales of high flying middle class folk who's life plans are not going quite to plan.

The less real I've got (due to increasing cowardice, softness, and a more salary-man lifestyle) the better at climbing I've become.  By extrapolation, my eventual fate is "Moose: Ghost Wad".

Plan?

Was I supposed to have one of those?

Why does no one ever tell me?

I mean, bollocks, I own a wall, but still only get one session outdoors per week. If it's not raining.
And, I often have to be back "in time for the school run".

Bouldering though so, real man, real.

95% Dad.

No one needs a plan but when you believe you need/ have one and it's not working. Then it's suddenly someone else's fault.

100% Grandpa.

Well that was weird. But strangely compelling. I'm happy that climbing is not yet totally sanitized and homogenous.

I have no feelings invested pro et contra any climbing websites except the one that's run by the psychopath.

When you say " bumped"...?
