The number doesn't matter. It's the feeling it creates.

Speaking of which, I had a rare YYFY moment today. A few mates have done Blood Falls recently, and it sounded like I'd be able to flash it, so when we turned up at Rowtor today, I didn't think my 4 red raw tips would be the best way to try the flash. I got on it anyway, and lo and behold, ticked it first go. Cha-ching! I really don't feel like I can take 7b for it (maybe if I was 6 inches shorter), but it's a very cool problem.

YYFY!

Almost nailed my first V3 indoors the other day, I think all that overhang work and plymetric training is finally starting to pay off.
Got 75% of it done but my fingers were just too cooked from traversing circuits earlier on, regardless I am super-psyched considering I only did my first V2 around a month ago, FUCK YES

I've spent the last month or maybe more chasing a numerical glitch in a piece of commercial code believing the problem to my own stupidity.

HAHA

YYFY I'm not a thickie & YYFY the updated code works a treat AND my results kick my predecessors ass.

 :thumbsup: Crappy commercial code, at least you could see it and identify the problem.

Managed 1-4-7 for the first time the other day on the second biggest set of rungs (the first set of normal campus rungs) at the works. Pretty chuffed.   :bounce:

I've got hold of a signed copy of Big Ron's book. The missus was intrigued to know why he looked like a 70's pr0n star  :o. I didn't have the heart to explain  ::)

YYFY... yeeefuckinghaaaa... finally managed to go climbing for the first time in 2 1/2 weeks... Went to the cliff, thought I would be appalling but seemed to be cranking strong but not much endurance - got as far with underhand as I have previously  :thumbsup:

Good to be back on the grit  :)

Had a little YYFY yesterday - got Creme Egg Eliminate on only the second session on it...after last week's initial attempts I thought it could well be one of those that develops into an obsession!

Sorry about FB pic - nice shot of it here:

Very big YYFY. Literally crushed the press at rubicon today. Whats even better is I reckon I can to the low start, after a few attempts on it I was getting pretty close. Will be going back to destroy it soon hopefully. Not so exciting video to follow.

If the idea of that vid was to make yourself look like a bit of an idiot, you certainly succeeded  ;)
