Not the hardest thing out there, I am aware, but it's so so good!

And I couldn't do it when I first tried it, a few years back, which suggests that I might actually be a better climber (in some sense) now.

I have one motivational picture next to my home wall, today I saw the super-lean, bald-headed anti-hero of it at Kendal wall.
Gaskins!
Now psyched for at least 10 more years of bouldering  :bounce:

There's currently consultation on a new Parkour site for the Broadfield park (Sheffield) area opposite me  :2thumbsup:



Please see my other post about development/conservation of the local river area nearby. (which I'll put up in a minute)

I must be out of touch, i thought parkour was about jumping about in an urban environment?

NO RULES! EXTREME! BANKSY!

I’m going to Eden Rock tomorrow, to go bouldering with friends. It’s a long time since I’ve done this (just shy of 12 months in fact) and it’s the first run out of the shoulder and bicep since my operation. I had my first day back at work yesterday, and managed it without incident. So I’m hoping for a good hour or so bouldering tomorrow, and some good crack with an old marra!

I might be posting in the NNFN thread in 24 hours time though, but for now, I’m going to sleep well knowing what tomorrow promises!

Nice one. The feeling of turning a real corner after injury is sweet.

Exactly. Shouldn’t they be putting up a parkour rig in remote beauty spots? So the downtrodden rural yoof can experience what city folk do? :)

Just submitted my final, post-viva, post-corrections, PhD thesis. It's officially over.

I'm very much looking forward to going home, burning all my work, and never thinking about any of it ever again.

Is someone chopping onions? Anyhow, although I don't think I ever posted there, big up everyone from the Black Dog thread you've all been very helpful over the last few years :strongbench:
