I managed to review all my translation of Big Ron's book, which is now finished and sent to the editor.
it's been a tough journey but a pleasant one at the same time.
thanks Ron.

What is the Italian translation of "Sound as a trout" or does he not use that phrase in the book?

trying to find some YYFY into the NNFN, sitting in front of the pc all day I managed to review all my translation of Big Ron's book, which is now finished and sent to the editor.

thanks Ron.

Well done. Good feeling, innit?

[Nibile]

yes, it's a great feeling to be honest. sometimes I'm at home doing nothing, and a sudden thought appears in my mind: gotta finish the book!!! then I realize I have already", phew!!!
I gave myself a very tight schedule because I wanted to have the book done by end of october, to be free to come to UK in the first two weeks of november... 

... and no, apparently there's no "sound as a trout" in the book!!! 

great read, really. a modest and shy legend. I would like to have a chat with him, when I have been in the Peak, I've always met him at the crag where conditions were best, but never managed a talk.

[neil h]

you going to hit font soon?

[Nibile]

hey Neil!
sadly not. my project was to come over to Uk in novembre, but work decided differently. I plan to be in UK in february, as you suggestyed, but who knows. Font is still there...

YYFY! Finally did my first non-cave 7a: Mark's Roof LH at Gardoms (even if it was a soft touch). Wish I could find more climbs like this on grit, it could not have suited me any better! (Either that or I could just MTFU and learn to love slopey breaks I guess...)

[JamieG]

Good work on Mark's Roof Left Hand. If you like powerful fingery climbing. Get yourself on Gorilla Warfare at Curbar. Really good problem and really works the finger power endurance.

You said it. Rise up to the challenge.

YYFY.  After 10 sessions in the last month, each one inching closer and closer I've just succeeded on West Side Story.  I am a very happy man tonight.  What a problem.   

[erm, sam]

Nice one! Bonus points for showing tenacity.

Couple of new probs done this weekend, cave right at robin hoods stride and early doors at curbur,

Both went pretty easily after many previous failed attempts :-)

After being forced to rest for a week and a half it felt great to get out in the peak this weekend :-)

Small series of various sized YYFYs. 2 weeks ago I was working in a bit-of-a-shit outdoors shop, not putting my engineering degree to the best use. Last tuesday I finally took my driving test and passed first time with 4 minors (subsidiary YYFY), then had an interview on thurs and a follow up interview today. Just found out I got the job YYFY. Moving back to bristol (YYFY) and starting my first proper job. I am so so happy. 

[SA Chris]

Nice one. Where you working?

[lukeyboy]

Thanks. It's a small energy consultancy firm just north of bristol called clifford talbot, looks pretty good. So not very degree related but lots of excel and some interesting energy price prediction software. Only problem is that they want me to start a week on monday (and I work full time, my last day is next friday) so it will be a bit mental trying to find somewhere to live etc. initially. But it's all good

Easy Motorway access then. Loads of flats in Bradley Stoke (Sadly Broke) and thereabouts.

you will be able to get yourself down to tca best indoor bouldering in the country (imo it was better than the works)

[lukeyboy]

Yeah, it should be a pretty good set up. We've been trying to move from the rockless barren SE to either bristol or sheff since about may so it's a result. Lived in bris for 4 years as a student so well acquainted with tca. Actually very excited about living 2 hours from pembroke  and the peak is a bit nearer, wye only 40 mins. Also, having avon back on my doorstep (even though it is avon) will be pretty sweet.

Finally managed to tick the keel today. Properly happy!

[SA Chris]

Sounds cool. Pics?

Sounds like you are moving to the next level. Should be a good winter.

[Luthor]

Managed to do t crack yesterday! Wanted to do it for ages, took 3 sessions to work it. Proper psyched! Top move/s are ace, when they stick 

[SA Chris]

Nice.

[Fiend]

Nice one IO2, now that's a proper YYFY. Nice register box too.
