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.

i think somone wrote a poem about them 45's........

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To... hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of [encores] -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

i mean yea... a few alterations and shortening  but the gyst is there.

Wow!  I used to have one pair of Lasers and a pair of Aces.  That covered all styles of climbing 

[rich d]

my first pair of boots were Aces - loved them    - got them so tight that I could only stand on the side of my feet....
I still miss them

Sadly I think the rubber vulcanises over the years, so I'm not so sure how the rubber will be.. Mind you don some Lycra and you'll be clad like a retro climbing Demi god..

When I tried to use my 16 year old still good lasers a couple of years back they fitted like a glove but were gash as the rubber had gone off..

[GCW]

Or maybe the rubber was always shit and it's just that rubber now is so much better?

[tomtom]

Or the rubber stayed the same and Im much worse/fatter/crapper 

[SA Chris]

I bequeathed my pair to Will, when he was in his Lycra phase. Did you ever use them Will? Or was the stench just too much?

The fluorescent yellow trim attracted midges. I seriously feared I was going to lose both feet from the festering midge-bite welts around my ankles after one particularly ill-judged summer evening at Wilton.

[Will Hunt]

Overpowering I'm afraid but a lovely bit of too-old-for-me nostalgia.

Who said the lycra was dead?

[tomtom]

No vest tops. #fail

YYFY - Finally after a mental last 7 months I'm back climbing and in training. First session this afternoon and I can't wait.

[Nibile]

yesterday I had a very good session on the Beast, I managed to one arm the right eye and was truly psyched, but today I fu**ing one armed the 35°. twice.
YYFY.

my g/f's comment at the end literally says "you're an idiot. just an idiot". she's just envious because she's weak.
I am so fu**ing happy.

[Krank]

outrageous, have a point

[Eddies]

Have another, your girlfriend obviously dosent know what shes dealing with.

[lagerstarfish]

Just agree that you are an idiot, but a very happy idiot. Then say something profound about the worthlessness of intelect to anyone who isn't happy - thus proving that you are not an idiot, but are in fact a humble, happy genius with a fantastic physique. She will feel warm and smiley inside because she has witnessed The Event.

Conkers make me think of



Surely kids these days only play conkers agains each other on the DS?

H&S don't allow it otherwise, unless safety goggles are worn

Feel the tension!

Didn't know Martin Johnson was into conkers.

And is that a drain plug in his chin?
