Nibile, what's that red band on your right arm?

Nope, neither.
Upon closer inspection the arm band seems to be something to do with football which now makes some of the later posts make sense.
My enquiry regarding elbow pain was a genuine one as I've heard there are methods of relieving pain from elbow tendonitus using specialist arm bands.........I'll get me coat.

Gremlin, the armband is a power motif that Nibile received as part of a Liverpool Football Club mega party pack. He's started climbing a lot stronger since wearing these garments yet the pink headband I gave to him has been notable by it's absence of late.

Tom,
I can't wear the pink headband at my pleasure. I rip slopers off, with that on, imagine what I could do to flaky crimps.
I have to preserve the rock for others, my friend.
Gremlin,
I thought you had noticed that and was joking, sorry! anyway, to answer your general question, I've had to climb with elbow bands on for some time, but I've read it's quite bad, because they stop a bit the blood circulation, they make the part slightly numb and therefore they can increase the risk of more severe injury.
I hope this helps. sorry if off topic. that was funny though.

Lorenzo Gerrard number 8, take a bow you beast!
I hope your positive vibes float over Europe and arrive at Anfield this season where Liverpool will march on to glorious Europa League victory and hopefully 4th place!

YYFY! Did stinging nettle last night about 6 months overdue. Not a breakthrough but one that's been bugging me for a while, glad to have got it done. Need to find a new reason to bother going to stone farm after work now...

Bit of YYFY out of the blue today.
On a warm, claggy Sunday I went over to Caley for a session, ostensibly to have get a few easy problems done and a bit of fresh air.
Now I've been trying "The Horn" for a few sessions over spring and thought I'd jump on it and see how it felt. Well, greasy was the answer - no surprises there.
Well, imagine my surprise to knock it off 3rd go and my first 7a+ as well!

A double YYFY for me had a golden day. Did 3x 7a's & a 7b out here in Aus which takes me too 103 font 7a's or harder worldwide since trying to take the whole game a bit more seriously.
Not to bad for a 32 year old punter from Essex!

YYFY! Finally managed the slopey traverse at Almscliff on Saturday. Crikey it was brutal... all that bulge pressing... more like wrestling with a congar eel than climbing. Lovely moves but I'm grateful that I didn't drop the finish up Morrel's wall - not sure if skin and shoulders could have taken much more.

The battle is over, the war is won.
After a siege which makes the Battle of Leningrad look like a minor skirmish, the Trojan war look like a bit of fisticuffs, my assault on the Grooved Arete of Kilnsey is finally over.
I am released from bondage, I can now walk with my head held high, looking any man in the eye.
YYFY.
