I have finally managed to get outside for the last two days and had two superb sessions after coming back from the latest injury.

Onsighted my first French 7a down in cheddar and did a my second ever 7b in avon

Well up for the winter season now :- D

Every single boulderer woke up this morning to clear blue skies and freezing temps and were instantly psyched!

Not quite everyone, I woke up to a cold, damp, and bitterly windy morning and thought "autumn's here and my grit season's almost over.... I reckon I'll have less than five more outdoor sessions before next spring". 

Still, signed off in satisfactory fashion: bagged the Secret Seventh, thankfully topping-out in an elegant 'sans dab' manner.  Not sure what to try next - Pedestal Arete SS?

I went climbing in Skye. Only been wanting to do that all fucking year.

[SA Chris]

We went down to Egol early last summer where, for the first time ever in Scotland, it was too hot to climb. Was fully roasting, and we just lay on the beach and swam (plus we were pretty knackered from walking in to Sron na Ciche in the heat on both the previous days). I reckon you could still get more climbing done there this year.

They should re-name Autumn and call it Awsome 


Hurray for this time of year!

and goodbye to the midges

I've gone quite giddy with excitement 

Conditions weren't quite as good as yesterday, but I have had two consecutive days on grit

YYFY

[ummagumma]

Trilled with nailing my first 7A. Felt easy enough. Makes me doubt it was a 7A. Fuck it, I'll take the tick. YYFY!!!! 

[chillax]

FINALLY got my masters thesis handed in! More of a relief than a YYFY moment, but I'm pretty happy to get my life back and try to remember how to climb! Done nothing in the last month and a half and feel stupidly weak  Where'd i leave that beastmaker....

[Eddies]

Tonight I pulled off my first ever one-armed pull-up... the last couple of inches were a real struggle!
RaaaAAaarr

[slackline]

Good work 

Just got to work on the other arm now. 

[Eddies]

Aint that the truth 

[match]

Finally ticked Horror Arete at Bridestones, childhood nemesis! What a fantastic climb, well worth the wait. Celebrations were had 

Chatting to a mate later that evening, he told a cautionary tale of slapping the top break of HA only to come face to face with a sheep that had made a daredevil leap, or possibly cranked V5, to investigate the totally grass-free top of the boulder.

[Fiend]

"totally grass free" lol 

[Krank]

Tonight I pulled off my first ever one-armed pull-up

nice one Eddie, hope it was chin over the bar and no kipping

[Eddies]

Youll see when you get back from Font mate!
...Anyway, you should be posting a YYFY moment up here soon mate, hows it going out there?

[grumpycrumpy]

I've finally got a job interview in Sheffield ...... Only the second in THIRTEEN years .......

I've finally got a job interview in Sheffield ...... Only the second in THIRTEEN years .......

Best of luck to you. Just make sure that when they ask why you want to work for the company the answer doesn't involve "because it means I can live in Sheffield and be in close proximity to some of the finest crags in the World".

[grumpycrumpy]

Thanks Chris  ...... And very good advice , I'll bear it in mind and try to keep my answers theatrically based ........   

[Jaspersharpe]

Good luck mate.

[Krank]

hows it going out there?

good mate, bagged my first 7A  of the trip, in 2 tries, in my 28th hour of being awake, only 30 days left though 

[Eddies]

Get busy with the fizzy

Good effort, are you doing one of your cool vids of the trip?

[Krank]

I will indeed be stealing 30 mins of your life with a font offering

in every man's life there are historical moments of absolute value. the first time you je** off, the first time you get into a fight, the first time you make love.
today, for me, will forever be the day I hung the 45's. repeatedly.

   important times indeed! Something of a relief that even you have struggled with the 45's.... I look forward to the momentous day when I can hang them. Please tell me you aren't hanging them one handed?

Yyfy went to crattcliff today and did the rh arête on the egg. It's what inspired to start crushing again a couple of months ago after a six year lay off. I know it's only a small number but it really bugged me not getting the first time.
