Did tumbleweed today at the mighty mighty tor. First 8A if it's 8A, but then it probably isn't with the host of knee, heel and toe faggotry I resorted to. Still, possibly the hardest bit of climbing I've done so  ;D

Was that a putdown or just tactless?

No that's the route above it, Tumbleweed is a long Bloc link the reverses part of Weedkiller.

You're thinking of 'the green alternative'.. Tumbleweed is r-man's recent link of the sit start to the problem right of Ben's roof, but instead of going to the chimes jug carry on along/down perverse reverse and finish up Basher's (it's all in the peak lime additions thread, Robin's got a video on vimeo too). All totally absurd, but fun moves and something to do whilst staminaband's wet and I don't fancy putting a harness on.

Nice work BTW. Seems like most of UKB was clustered round that little bit of dry rock today.

 Managed to do the Thing yesterday, something I've wanted to do ever since seeing One Summer. YYFY.

 I noticed a crack behind the left foothold though, and it looked like water was getting in. NNFN.

 On another note, had anyone any idea what the fuck was going on with the River Wye? For those not in the know it was akin to cream of tomato soup in colour from Buxton to at least Millers Dale - I was on the bus.

Sweet F.A. buddy. I dried out the Thing and it stayed dry so it could just be run off, and the Pinch looked clammy rather than wet. The Hulk was drenched. But the ground directly underneath most of the problems was dry so, as I said, it could all just be run-off.

Two hour session at Awesome in Stockport this afternoon with no elbow pain then straight to Eastlands to watch City dominate and do Chelsea 2-1.  YYFY best day I've had since the Summer.. Well psyched.

i know it's not bouldering but stupid training, but it's important for me!
in the pursuit of 1-5-8 with the british spacings, today i managed to stick 1-6 leading with both arms!!!
i'm very happy because 1-6 on our campus board is 10 cm longer than 1-5 british, so i'm on a good path, should be able to stick 1-5 and then try and pull on it to get the 8 which is a fucking long way up dammit. can't wait to mount the new rung at the "real" 5!!!
i am sure nothing of what i just said makes sense to anyone of you all.
sorry.

i mounted the "real" rung n° 5. 1-5-8 still eluded me but i was close, that being at the end of the session it seems promising.
yyfy still on hold anyway, but not a nnfn fo' sho'.

Ok, it's not a bouldering/chuffing YYFY, but I'm proud to announce the impending arrival of  offspring 2.0. This does mean that I've got to tick an 8a, 2 8a+'s and and 8b by next June, but it's a target I'm happy to live with  ;D
