~~YYFY! Finally did deliverance yesterday. Felt easy once I had managed it, so I repeated it straight after and got it on camera. It has taken a long time to get this one down.~~

Well done Tom - its one thats gnawing at me to complete too!

Got Mr Smooth done at Caley - now for me that is one big YYFY moment - really pleased to say the least.

As if that wasn't enough I then flashed 6b and got another 6b 2nd go. I should state for the record they are the two arêtes on the Roof of the World area (Page 123 of the Yorkshire Gritstone Bouldering Guide) and if you had asked me I would have said they were 6a and 6a+ but the guide book never lies IMO.

Please feel free to piss on my chips at will but please don't be offended if I say "Fuck You, I Did Mr Smooth".

Nice, it's a quality prob. Was pleased as I have a pic of me in exactly the same position as the photo (of Steve Rhodes?) in the really old Yorkshire Bouldering guide.

Nice one... Is this the beginning of a great relationship with the stone?

tomtom · April 19, 2010, 10:28:45 pm

I don't remember ever showing you the picture Jim?

It's a slide, taken in (I think) 1998 I am dressed in a very fetching multicoloured fleece IIRC.

With a bit of luck! Had a go at the crack direct but felt slightly lacking in power, I shall return in a couple of months though for another blast

willackers · April 20, 2010, 08:18:25 pm

YYFY!

Just got the 2nd ascent of La Saboteur at Dumby!

Then watched Malc put up 2 new 8b's!

What an awesome afternoon!

Not often I get to post on this thread, but this week I've done my project arete and now I've got my retribution:

YYFY

A big deviant yes, yes, fucking yes for me today. Just ticked my cellar project a year ahead of schedule. Can't believe the training has paid off so early! So psyched.

100 ft of continuous horizontal roof offwidth on hand and fist stacks. Took 9 minutes to complete and ended in some serious nausea. :-)

Probably should do some real climbing now after that!

slackline · April 26, 2010, 08:22:07 pm

Are you miner in your spare time, how big is your cellar?

Bit like this? (seriously Stallioni NSFW level, this is)

How big is my cellar, Slackers.....? Wouldn't you like to know

You'd love it. Come round some time. I won't get the gimp suit made of finger tape out on your first visit...

Paul - nah, nothing as serious as the Dungeon. Just "The Cellar" keep it all innocent sounding so I can entice mates down there for some weirdness.

GCW - Tut tut.

Polished off two excellent new Cheshire highballs (30') last night. Tiring and with flayed tips I had to dig in a little on a thin move high on the second one - always a good feeling. Nothing spectacular, just one of those times climbing is really satisfying.

rich d · April 28, 2010, 06:53:02 pm

I know this is very small change, but I did the 6a on the side of the dog at burbage south today, topped it out with a great big grin on my face, think I first tried it about 2 years ago and have played on it a few times since then. The first on my 2010 ticklist for me to develop into a 7a punter this year.
