i lad that it is, you coming at easter then?, has the wife spoke to you yet?

Drew · January 20, 2009, 07:09:11 pm

Had my first YYFY moment today, but am embarrassed to say I didn't say it out loud at the time, so I don't know if it counts.

Did Flatworld today. Never been on it before, and got it second go! I could reach from the first foothold to the higher sidepull, so it was somewhat easier for me than John (who also got it), but I was well chuffed with myself. Ooh look at me, aren't I great

Nibile · January 20, 2009, 07:21:32 pm

i want my YYFY moments back.
i wonder when i'll have one again.
i'm on one of the lowest psyche moment ever.

GCW · January 20, 2009, 07:23:49 pm

Join the club!

I'm wary of 'psyche'. Some people seem so 'psyched' all the time that it makes me wonder how they can possibly get much more elated or euphoric which is surely something you feel when you top out a nemesis or project. Then again, I suppose it sounds a bit 80's if you go around saying "I'm motivated".

I would argue that you are motivated Lore but not psyched. Which is fine. Come and stay.

Failing that, I have a surprise for you at easter.

Monolith · January 20, 2009, 08:21:00 pm

And by posting in this thread without news, I've gone and fucking jinxed success! Bitch tits.

Carnage · January 20, 2009, 09:26:17 pm

Poor Nibs.

Every trip out is a YYFY for me as it feels like I'm starting from scratch. First V5 in a long time on Sat - YYFY. Feels like I'm back now.

Bonjoy · January 22, 2009, 12:36:19 pm

YYFY! I managed to complete a fairly long standing route project of mine at eatswood on Sat. Tentatively given - Lip of Fools E7 6c**. It's on the buttress right of the traverse wall. Up the crack on the right, out left along the lip on crimps, up the middle to the break and a steady finish through the bulge on the right. Quick repeat from Paul B some days later. Safe and tricky, it feels more like a crimpy 8a-ish sport route than your average hard grit route.

Congratulations!

Some interesting rope work there!

dave · January 22, 2009, 01:26:13 pm

so psyched he left all his worldly possesions at the crag.

Fiend · January 22, 2009, 01:39:36 pm

Busting out some good bee-goose colours there.

Jim · January 22, 2009, 11:34:08 pm

What're the access issues at eatswood these days? BMC RAD is a bit useless

What happened to the net idea? Nice one bonjella

Bonjoy · January 23, 2009, 10:51:54 am

Still keen to get the net on it some time. Maybe when there's a suitable team of lemmings on hand

Tommy · January 23, 2009, 12:26:13 pm

Flippin' hell that's a good effort. Me and a mate were trying that ground-up with a couple of pads thinking it was Monster Monster. No wonder we thought it was hard for E5! Did you test the fall? Was the tree up to the business?

Paul B · January 23, 2009, 02:04:57 pm

yeah absolutely fine, a little bend but all that did was make the fall/jump even more comfortable.
