Pretty inspiring and very worrying watching him trying to do the top-out with arms so pumped they could hardly make fists!

This badge would be more appropriate!!!  ;) :P



The chicken wings make another appearance.........

I'll make a tentative date with it for end of June Will!!!  ;) :-\

The one who does not jam!

You'll piss it Dan, if you lay back past the jamming sections and get to the rests you'll be all over it, your warm up for Requiem.

Did you use the correct beta on Zippy's?  I hear the ground is in.

Indeed, I think one of the biggest barriers lots of people seem to have preventing them having more fun in their climbing is avoiding things in case of failure

i fail on everything, and still don't have fun

I'm presuming "halp" is some verb I was previously unaware of, with a meaning quite unlike that of "help" as "help" is certainly what you get when you sit on your mat halfway through a problem! :shrug:

Nice one Adam. What's it like? I'm keen to visit Giggleswick this year, was thinking Kleptomania but Militia could tempt me (it's short right?)

Well, i did Kleptomania yesterday, that is basically a V7 on a rope, as you do an easy bit of climbing to a knee bar. Then just 4 moves. Clipping the chain whilst inverted is a tad spicy. I blew it doing that once!

As for Militia. Big moves off goodish holds. Quite powerful and very bouldery. Crux being a throw for a good hold which you need to be accurate for.

Both great routes.

Then clip off the good hold then do a big move of it (if I remember correctly) I blew that a few times as well. My right arm just got knackered. The start was very bouldery to the break on little holds as well.

I think Militia is a better route though they are both good.
