Dear Dense

Given the context - ie SA Chris' post to which you seemed to be replying - I think it was entirely reasonable for me to draw said inferences from your statement. However, confusion has been dispelled and I shall not pursue the matter further.

Given the nature of our discussion and the amount of time we have devoted to debating a point which many will see as largely insignificant, I also think it is entirely reasonable to assume that we both have either too much time on our hands, or else a debilitating inability to resist wasting time that we really should be doing something else with.

I trust you will not refute this latest conclusion.

Balls, I can't see those photos now either. Ah well, I guess the ukc gallery is just too damn slippery.

have you boys met up at wimberry yet?

[SA Chris]

OK, well that's that little discussion sautteed then. I didnt meant to open a can of worms or anything.

Before we stray too far, here's Tommy Twotone on a glorious Autumn evening a few years back (before he did himself in).

Bouldering for life

[JR]

isnt that the boulder where that aaron ralston got his arm stuck and hacked it off with a toothpick?  looks like those boys are getting equally stuck in.

[Bubba]

That's the first thing that crossed my mind - watch those hands, boys!

[account_inactive]

Its actually fans trying to locate the severed hand.  

Shortly after this shot was taken the said hand was available for bidding on Ebay

I just climbed here 3 weeks ago, high quality stone. Little Rock City, outside of Chattanooga Tennessee.

Good little spot isnt it Blunk, been there twice now in the last 3 years. The TBA boys are are something else. Was there with Dense who contracted SARS as we arrived !!!

   

[Blunk]

Hello Blunk, token seppo. Those pics look well cool.

Any snows on the front range yet?

We are having the balmiest autumn ever, I've even been going up to Wyoming and climbing at 8000 feet. Fucking awesome. Global warming isn't all bad...

all them flowers make it look like you went to a gay bouldering meet blunk  

Squeal like a pig!

Genius, is there any disease that man hasen't got/had

[saltbeef]

...enough for now. There are so many good ones. Damn, I want to go climbing. Now, now, now.

[Control freak]

Nice pictures word - check out the wobble back in the day

You guys! How disappointing. Where all the late night posts to distract me when I'm trying to do something constructive. Fingers? Have you been banned from the offy or something?

Ah well, I'll do it myself. More pics from Deepblue. Some are pretty special:

(That Marihuana Corner problem aint all that though. Horrible start.)

are you on drugs? quality problem

That dog sure gets around.

I dunno, the start seemed like the only hard move. Some gnarly undercut thing, from a sitstart on a three thin logs attempting to cover a large pit. I wasn't inspired. (Though this is also perhaps because on my brief furtle I got precisely nowhere with it, and got fed up.)

[Jim]

the start was the best bit, crux was getting top, long stretch. Is climbable out of the pit as well if you move the logs but they are there for a reason..... it is better to start off them

[r-man]

Really? Maybe we were doing the start wrong then, because the top moves didn't feel too bad. Ah well.

Would love to go back sometime, hopefully with better weather. We were there the last two weeks in august and rain rolled in over the blue skies just as we arrived. Still had fun though, but we had to spend quite a lot of time looking for dry problems, rather than just climbing everything we could see.

hopefully with better weather

and shoes  :wink:

[fatneck]

Here's some from a recent Northumberland trip, not many actual climbing ones cos it's difficult to take photo's of yourself and I was too busy climbing to take many of anyone else!
