stripping it (again, totally new experience, total ball-ache).
Overall I'd say that was one of the highlights of my climbing in the past year or so. Felt really adventurous and exploratory and fun.
T - Kilnsey for my first outdoor sport ever.

T. Morning session at High Tor of course. Hadn’t self belayed for a while and my set up could have been better if I’d remembered what I’d done in the past properly. Felt scared. Did Robert Brown and top pitch of Lyme Cryme. Found it tough going. Shelved more ambitious stuff. Baby steps. Even taking into account the fear and awkward shunting of the gri-gri I was shocked at how unfit I am.

Something like Full Tilt, I bet you'd really enjoy that if you got into it a bit more. Comedy is also an obvious one that youd probably be able to campus!
Hey Tomtom!Yes, thanks, it did go well, there was a broken piece of the meniscus wedged in between the bones.Unfortunately they also found out some more cartilages problems and a broken cruciatus ligament, but apparently nothing too serious. No more ass to grass squat obviously! Heavy lifting was over in any case even before, now I prefer to sweat my way through 60% load finishers! They really work!
Please could you elaborate on what system you were using here? Rig a belay at the top and ab in, then climb a few moves and pull rope up through the Grigri? Sounds scary.
