yesterday was absolutely baltic.
might have been even too cold for really good friction, because i kept sliding off on the slopey traverse.

[dave]

was fucking boiling in brimham satdy. t-shirt weather.

[Stubbs]

Was mint up at Simon's Seat on saturday - t shirt whilst climbing but hoody on in between goes.  Really good conditions in the shade.  Went to Apparent North yesterday afternoon and it still a bit too warm in the sun but good in the shade and really good after about 5 when the sun dipped and that haze came over - more weekends like that please!

Let's hope it's good on the w/e 2/3/4 Nov when I am planning on making the annual grit pilgrimage.

[Jim]

well all you losers that thrashed your skin over the warm weekend have just missed the best conditions of the year so far today.
The crags were practically deserted

I sought the shade of Burbage Sth Edge on Sunday and having done very little bouldering this Summer I'm now very sore in the arms and back today.

yes thats strange, most crags are usually packed on weekdays.

[Stubbs]

well all you people who have full time jobs and can't climb on mondays that thrashed your skin over the warm weekend have just missed the best conditions of the year so far today.
The crags were practically deserted

That's more like it....

It's V5 in my book.

I fucking hate V grades. Every time anyone mentions them I have to look at a bastard conversion chart as I have such an aversion to them my brain refuses to remember what they mean in real money. I feel like a pensioner struggling with decimalisation. Bloody fiddly five pence pieces.

Give it V6/F7a in reality

Well done Andi, now for some real climbing do that bloody 7a+ thingy at the end of Kilnsey FFS

[Monolith]

Be wary of Andy's references to Kilnsey andi. Next thing you know, you're in his wheels bombing up to Kilnsey on belay duty!

(Andy you know I'll hold your string for you anytime

[dave]

F7a = french 7a, its not that long is it? 

[Monolith]

I was just editing my post for a cheap dig as you got that in dave. You move too fast!

[Jaspersharpe]

Now I'm really confused.

Funny, I feel like that with Font grades. Most places I have bouldered a bit all use V. Only time I ever use Font is in Font, and the difficulty of the problems seems to have no correlation with the grades (to me anyway).
