seemingly being beholden to update to people I don't know on a weekly basis is helping
Su - Rowantree Tor w/ Will, first climb and first or second go pinged off a techy arete and ripped a hole in my tip... taped up and seemed alright, not really any crimps about anyway. Got up some cool stuff - Gladiator being the highlight, big pulls between good holds and the only thing I tried that seemed fair for the grade.

Its a great feature! theres a good circuit between there and High Crag over the road. Did you try the Violet/Ultraviolet wall or were they above water? A couple of classic examples of Pauls ancient waddage. I could never touch them...
Morning chaps I’m coming back in.
Su: Had a hunch Trowbarrow would be OK in the afternoon - and it was. Good warm up on red wall - then made progress of sorts on Pit Problem (see pit problem thread). Met one other climber (Owen - hello!) who was inspired (the wrong word - maybe notified) of Pit Problem from the beta thread - but then split a crease in my little finger and was done in by that point so left.
Weight was starting to pile on and reined it back successfully at start of week mainly by not eating in the morning.

T: Nothing. Felt like I had been in a car crash and couldn't move my neck....
I live in Bishop and I have a great home gym (see below) so I have no excuse. Will be in Font for three weeks March 11-April 1.The home wall:
Welcome.
S - Depot Pudsey. 50 board session. After a couple of warm ups decided to experiment with ankle weights.

If so, I was the lanky person on the 30 board moaning about feeling weak after a holiday (and contributing to a slightly bizarre spell of shouting encouragement in German - Raus! Einfach Klasse! Wie komme ich zum Bahnhof!?). Always nice to put a face to the pseudonym!

Although sure he'll be flattered to be mistaken for Tim I was the handsome one burning him off Likewise anyway! Although having German shouted at you is one of the more off-putting heckles I've had haha
so many wet weekends probably still to come...
My first real post! Sorry its a bit longQuick intro: I'm 41, 6'2", 180# - would like to be 170-175# eventually. I'm pathetically weak but I've been climbing a long time, sent many v6-v7 but plateau'd around v7 for a long time. Did one v8 and a couple v9. Then got weaker over the last couple years, stuck at v6 right now. Started training again seriously a couple weeks ago. I live in Bishop and I have a great home gym (see below) so I have no excuse. Will be in Font for three weeks March 11-April 1.The home wall:
WelcomeThat's amazing home wall! How/why did you end up with such a thing?
Forgot to mention that I drove to bastard Luton on Wednesday night to watch fucking Wednesday loseHonestly genuinely what a fucking shitholeEven Hull is better
Before you guys start comparing shitholes, take a drive through some central belt towns sometime.
