Nice one, always good to stick it to your supervisor!

bang out another 50 over the next two weeks

That seems a little excessive? ;)

I have no idea what any of that means, but sounds good.

And well done for ticking Epiphany.

And GCW, shall we say January, maybe?  ;)

OK, but I'll believe it when it happens, fatty!

3 to 4 daily is normal, isn't it?

Come on, get with the program!

Enjoy it, kids are fun. Just when you think you are getting to grips with it they'll throw you another curveball.

Insignificant but a real YYFY for me as I managed to get out on rock for the first time in way too long  :).  Stood on top of 5m high boulder, arms in air doing a jig of joy to the amusement to watching goats having completed (I believe sent maybe modern and correct term!) a V1 on sight.  Three hours of problems, no pulled tendons, feeling completely worked over and ready for bed - delayed by a glass or two of something with Christmas cake  :beer1:

Hacked our way up some coastal ice 10 mins walk from the house this morning. Only about 8m high, but in good nick, and last chance before thaw sets in. Spotted it forming up last winter, but was even fatter today. Crux was mantelling onto unfrozen turf at the top of the bomber ice.

despite the lack of real climbing, I had a good YYFY yesterday at the new gym. michele caminati had been there the day before, and after doing one of the problems I set, said "it lacks a foothold".
LOOK AT ME.

Well finally the rain stopped and the hangovers cleared, which allowed a few fellow Staffs lads and I to get out and really enjoy a day up at the Roaches.
We enjoyed our usual circuit with a few really good and less well known slabby probs thown in for good measure.
Then came the Tetris boulder, between us we climbed all but one problem on the entire boulder. I myself claimed Tetris and fellow crusher Alister bagged himself columns!
Thats one off the 2011 list already... YYFY

Managed to get out bouldering today for the first time since the wee bairn was born and managed to tick one of the 2011 aims off the list, YYFY!  :dance1: :dance1:

first v6/ 7A (dolphin belly), one off the aims of the year, even though the cliff was cold as fuck. Got it first time this session aswell, after falling off lots last time.

Effort sir - assume that was you there with Will on Sunday? If so good to meet you as well.

Now you need to head back up there, move approx 4 feet left and so begins the love / hate relationship with DWR...certainly puts the plus in sept a plus!

Finally ended my mini siege on West Side Story today!

Session 1: arrive in heavy snow but its blowing over the top of the crag leaving 2 feet of dry space to stand on. Twist my ankle which does a funny spasming thing and then swells up to the size of a balloon. Leave. No walking for a week, NNFN.

Session 2: Car thermometer reads -10 degrees C on the way up. Try until it starts getting dark and I am alone crying in the snow with bleeding knuckles...

Session 3: Get the jug but climb like a retard and fuck up the top wall. Sort life out. Get jug again and top out.

YYFY!

Every muscle is aching, especially lats, 2 months off may have been hard, but thrashing yourself back to a decent level of fitness sure is satisfying.

You'd be amazed by just how many people I know who have done exactly this.

After a failed visit to Longridge yesterday I made a trip to West View in Preston and just about managed a few hours bimbling about. Hauled myself up a few low grade things but the peak of my efforts was doing a V4 having not climbed for 7 months. Happy man. Also met Mr Lincoln and Serpico there who both flashed every single route in wellington boots. Man those guys are strong ;-)

I think Mr Vickers reset them in December, they were good fun and I enjoyed myself. If I do relocate i'm sure you can show me pure power Gareth, tear the wall down!
