perfect day ... best chunk of limestone in the country totally deserted, cold and sunny, and both of the people there tick their projects. Malham rules  :)

Managed to turn a NNFN into a YYFY. After failing numerous times on the Nadin's Traverse at the roaches, I bagged my first V6 by doing the eliminate dyno from the sloping finger rail to the top. I think it's called "Reg" in the BMC roaches book.

Not a climbing YYFY but one for me none the less.

A double blow for Australia today (a NNFN for them) - After discovering they get to keep Pauline Hanson, they now can't get rid of me either.

I am now officially an Australian citizen - YYFY

I went climbing indoors last night at hudds wall (NNFN? ;)) but it was my first time trying to climb anything challenging since I fucked my shoulder playing football at the beginning of october.
I thought I would be in agony this morning and I feel ok just a dull ache. YYFY I can finally start enjoying grit season.  :dance1:

Can't wait for shooters nab this weekend now

After ages bouldering I had a great routes session at the wall last night with FallingDown and Galpinos. Did falling practise and managed to let go several times with only a bit of wimpering and the odd shriek. No outright screaming. Took an actual leader fall and my nearly better finger didn't get sore AT ALL. YYFY. Keen.

Not climbing related, but after 2 3/4 years of dossing about in Europe, the UK & Aus I finally have a decent job, paying ok money & with some half decent prospects. Should really be a NNFN, but job = money at last!

Nice to have some security eh?

Had an amazing session at Almscliff this evening, very cold temperatures but manageable. Very good friction too but I had weird annoying glassy skin which meant some slopers felt crap. Nice to know I can still manage Steve's Wall too, did it quite easily in good style, feeling strong on the slap, so I'm pleased.

The winter is here and I'm feeling strong.
Yes Yes Fucking Yes.

A total YYFY moment today, as I became a dad for the first time!  :bounce:

In spite of the lack of sleep, the labour was surprisingly untraumatic and straightforward. Mum and baby doing well, it's scary, but a totally amazing feeling too :thumbsup:

Only joking Rick, all the best to the 3 of you.  See you on the rocks in September, maybe?

Nice one.

Enjoy the weapons grade meconium. Don't worry it doesn't last forever.

You didn't like sleep much anyway did you?

The speed at which I'm approaching my submission date seems to be accelerating at a ridiculous rate with very little progress in my 'lab' work (its all simulated really) due to various faults, licensing issues and generally a lot of  :wall:

The other day I had an Epiphany that allowed a different approach which was met by a heavy dose of sarcasm and scepticism from my supervisor. Well, just now I've finished analysing my validation case data and its not only acceptable (behaving as it should), it actually fits the previous lab (actual lab) data nearly perfectly.

YYFY! Now all I need to do is bang out another 50 over the next two weeks but that's all a bit  :whistle:
