A very minor YYFY (especially considering Stevies 9a exploits...) but I managed to haul my carcass up Comedy at Kilnsey yesterday, which is my first 7c (and very nice it was too).

Well done Nik

Has Haston done Nik's Wall though??

Good effort.

YYFY! I've got a job!

Best thing is, i was outsourced by company 'A' to company 'B' in April 09 was made redundant by company 'B' on 04/09/2009. Three days later i was offered a job working for company A!

So I've pocketed the redundancy money and started a new job on the same salary! If that's not a YYFY moment then I don't know what is!

slackline · September 18, 2009, 12:52:27 pm

Get in.

tomtom · September 18, 2009, 12:59:46 pm

Sweet, a result!

Nice one. Is it an immediate start, or do you have a bit more time off?

rginns · September 18, 2009, 08:27:47 pm

two YYFY's in as many weeks - a flying visit to Brownstones yielded Low Break Traverse, another one off the years aims list, woohoo!

I've had a week in Sardinia and I've got next week off. I Would have preferred a bit longer but the sooner I start, the less of the redundancy money I have to dip into.

You'll be warming up on it next

No he won't...
Nik never bothers warming up!

It's funny cos it's true.

Will Hunt · September 20, 2009, 06:05:15 pm

A personal YYFY. Today was the first time I've been climbing since last December when I haven't worried whether my leg was going to collapse mid route or whether I'd be able to do a high rock up. At Ilkley Quarry today I didn't lead anything hard and most of the climbs I'd done before but to be getting up VSs and HVSs and not being worried about where my last piece of gear is and generally just cruising without a care was something I haven't felt in a long time. It was when I got to the top of S Crack that I finally felt normal again, something that I now realise I haven't felt while climbing for a long time.

Ironically when I'm climbing is when I don't feel the pain in my leg. Its when I'm sat on my arse not moving it that it starts to ache.

YYFY! Let's go climbing

andy popp · September 20, 2009, 07:06:28 pm

Good effort Will. In all my years of recklessness I never had to experience a bad injury such as yours and am not sure I would have bounced back at all.

Sloper · September 20, 2009, 07:24:22 pm

Nice one I don't know what you did but it's bloody good to see that you're back in the game.

jfw · September 20, 2009, 07:29:37 pm

any news from andy f?

tomtom · September 20, 2009, 07:33:15 pm

Good to hear the climbing mind is well on its way to recovery Will...

nik at work · September 20, 2009, 07:34:45 pm

Yeah, c'mon Andy, today was surely the day.

Andy F · September 20, 2009, 07:48:40 pm

Actually it wasn't

. The undercut was damp and needed ragging, plus not being on the route for a couple of weeks I felt clunky for the first few goes, then my power faded. If it stay's dry then next week could be good.

nik at work · September 20, 2009, 07:51:21 pm

Keep the faith true believer.

Andy F · September 20, 2009, 08:16:27 pm

The forecast on the metoffice site show's a little bit of rain on tues/wed but not a deluge so it could stay dry. On a plus side I did it in two on my last go, with about 15 seconds rest by the 4th clip, showing the fitness is still there.

Adam Lincoln · September 20, 2009, 09:26:37 pm

Flashed my first route 8a today! YYFY, though more of a NNFN, as it was more like 7c+. But that is also a YYFY as it was on the aims lift for 2009.

SA Chris · September 20, 2009, 09:43:09 pm

Nice one Adam. Got up early enough and despite slight hungover walked down to boulders on the coast near house and got a lovely tidal prow cleaned, sussed and FA'ed in bone dry cold sunny conditions. Not hard - 6b/c or so, but potential for a harder version still to do, which may have to wait for me to get stronger and get good conditions on next low spring tide (a month or so!). Amazing as until I went down last month on the lowest tide of the year I didn't even know it was there.

YYFY!

2!!

1st: spent 4 hrs sorting out the dump that was my garage.. so I can use my board!! good job, as I'm bookin maisonbleau for the week after easter - with an aim for a 7a in an hour that I've not done before!! might need some pointers.. flowing slaps up perfect scoops a speciality..

2nd:... freeride MTB in grenoside today, got a bit freaked on a track not done before.. well spicy. hit the final drop at a fine speed (only 4 ft, but into classic greno no run out and off camber *mind the trees* sort of track).. bloody great!!

what a beautiful day, cool, clear and still.

YYFY, before a week of work stress..
