To be fair it took me three attempts to walk past it.

Also in this area, has anyone else done my sit start to Inertia Reel? I still think this is pretty tricky and don't know of anyone that's done it except Simpson who said he thought it was 7c. I found it harder than Mushin.

I tried it quite a few times, but just found it way too bunched trying to get any movement after gaining the IR undercut. I shan't suggest a certainly stature to be of benefit on this one.

After that guy bust his tendon on it I've never touched the hold since.

I believe 'that guy' was probably me, sure my memory places you at the scene that day. I've never touched the hold since either!

And to avoid getting too far off thread topic, good arrows Mr Wilson for ticking Columns, a well deserving problem and definitely one of the better problems in the Peak at the grade.

Got Trackside done first go today   :great:  (after trying it for the first time in the wet last weekend..) good problem.

Then went and tried Guerilla Warfare and was unceremomiously spanked by it  :) But then had a great play working most of the moves on Tracker which has now become TomTom's first 7b project.

I'd be happy at being under 75 kilos.  As it is probably back at arounr 78 - 80 :-[

The day I make it to under 90kg I will be happy!

I've waited a while before posting my first YYFY but finally did West Side Story today. There was a time I thought I'd never be able to tick this and it feels amazing to have done it.

Thought it wasn't going to happen today due to the rain this morning but by late afternoon conditions were mint.

And yes, I did top it out. Thanks to the other guys out there who spotted me.

Well a promising weekend turned to drizzle this morning so sacked off Burbage in favour of a local crag, Ramshaw. I wasn’t getting on with the freezing wind and fog so headed to Wrights rock (90mph on route!) and redeemed myself by bagging Sam Tan… Off to cash in my beer tokens now  :beer1:

Hiya, that's right, nice to meet you.

I did Boba Fett, satisfying problem, and Emma did C3PO.

nice to meet you also :wave:. Good effort on BF, did you ignore the low smear and just use the higher smear and pop up? i think it will be immensely satisfying when i finally do it, im at the point of no return i cant waist as much of my life as i have and not get it done, just have to wait for the nail to reattach ;)

I used my left foot in the pocket-like dink for a slow and steady stand into the first move, then stepped up again into the same footholds as you said you were using. If that makes sense.

Rocked up at the wall yesterday and felt strong like beast rrrrrrawwwwr   ;D

Went in, warmed up, and proceeded to Flash every single V1 there (minus 2 because I went off to try a V2), including my first ever V1 on an overhang.
I then almost did my first V2!....well I got half way through it, but Hell yeah!
My fingers felt strong, I felt strong, I felt good!
After several attempts at the V2 and one more V1 I tired to keep going but I was so knackered I couldn't even bang out a sit-start haha!
Just wanted to share my buzz, last night I felt in the zone, and it was awesome :bounce: progression is awesome.

P.S.

Congrats on the baby Jeff!

Babys name is Dilys - its Welsh.
Not sure yet if shes a future Wad - shes currently reluctant wrinkling her nose up at the beastmaker! so early signs arent great.
She Manged to get three fingers into the Monos so i might have to hang her a mini version...

Way to go. That's how Hercules got to climb 9a in sandals picking up a calf each day as a boy until he ended up picking it up as a bull in his teens. Legend.
