Crushed E7 like it was nothing today.

E5?

V4/V5

[Drew]

The one with 15 feet of snow under it

If it's the one I think, then it sounds like everyone and their dog did it today. Even me!

[a dense loner]

no need for scarpa stickers when you don't go l'angle parfait or super prestat

[jonjon]

 Crush mode engaged.  4 routes today, 20 E points, one was HVS, actually the scariest one of the lot, can someone build me a proper snow platform under it please?

Dame Jouanne is almost fair enough, but you're saying you can't do any of the 7th grade problems at Cuvier? Christ. No wonder you wore the sticker.

Managed to get up Rataplat on my last day in font, best problem i did all week and first 7B in the forest. Booked my accommodation for my month visit in October and planned another week trip in April because i cant wait til Oct to go back. The worlds finest forest? i think so

no no i'm saying it's harder for me to do new 7th grade probs at cuvier. even harder in the damp. tho you wouldn't have thought so yesterday when crush mode was engaged
edit: didn't do anything special just wanted to sound like a scouser

[Johnny Brown]

Come on now, it didn't have to be a new one, any would have counted. How's the weather out there?
Just had four of the best days' grit conditions I've ever experienced.

[chillax]

Not quite up there with "snowballing" E7's I'm afraid, but I just stuck the 45's on my beastmaker for the first time. Max hag of a princely 15 seconds. Sadly enough, I'm stupidly happy with this extremely minor feat. Have to work up to a decent set of encores now! Roll on Fair Head season in march 

[Bonjoy]

Legendary weekend, definitely worth a YYFY. Lots of great moments, the best for me being Don and White Wand. I think we’ll be reminiscing about the last weekend of Jan 2010 for many years to come.

That's some short-term memory you have JB. Does it re-set itself every January? I guess hard work with a shovel can do funny things to ones perceptions.
I know you Peak boys have been going stir crazy down there though, did you mean 'best freak grit conditions' ever?
 

[Baloo]

Andle Stone Wall at last! Psyched for Font a week on Sat.

No confusion, maybe it was different in yorks. I remember only day last year which was comparably sticky, and that was only for an hour at sunset. This was cheating conditions all day, and with the sun out. Incredible.

fantastic had 2 dry days n 2 damp afternoons in 17 days

[Tim Broughtonshaw]

 and tonight did my first broughton 7A (font 7C apparently). 

Split a tip doing though however.


Cheers
Tim

beast. should be puntered for not being outside at the weekend

First climbing for 4 months after severing tendons + surgery, on a snowy Stanage    Bumbled up some nice slabs, eased up crescent arete and shook manfully up pebble arete LH. Hurrah YYFY 

[Fiend]

I went to Tenerife and did loads of great routes and really enjoyed a different vibe of Euro sport climbing and reckon I was climbing at 90% of my usual standard not bad for someone who can't walk uphill and is living in the wettest city on planet Earth YYFY.

[SA Chris]

I didn't know you lived in Seattle? or is it Atlantis?

[Paul B]

Tues I randomly got the urge to go climbing (a first since being back in the UK).

Wednesday I went out and played above the snow... and survived. Given the time of year I think thats a big YYFY

[El Mocho]

After falling off approx 15 times in a row off the 'easy' move near the top of Superbloc did the dead first go wednesday afternoon, and the move felt easy when I finally did it. (hardest bit was getting 4 pads up there on my own (I do have video evidence that I did it rather than having to take Klems word as he was licking his bollocks at the time))

Slight NNFN though yesterday as got up at 3.00am to drive to Wasdale and go up to the East buttress to try Daves new route only to get there and and find it was all melting. Lots off dripping ice around there though, bit of a freeze and it will be mint. Did a grade V which felt about VII as it was so soggy (luckily I was seconding as the slush insecurity would have given me the fear on lead)

[dobbin]

Good effort! (not regards ice climbing log)

props on mixing it up

[Brolly]

I randomly tried to do a one armer today at the wall (for the first time in many years) and managed it.  I then tried it on a bar and did two on the left arm and two on the right.

It's 15 years or so since I could last do that!  Definately a YYFY mo for me.

PS I know this has no real bearing on climbing and unless I learn to use my feet I'll still be pants, but they make me feel better.

PPS hoping I don't wake tomorrow with re goosed elbows!

On the other hand, this ability combined with your steely little fingers will get you up a lot of hard problems
