after climbing trackside in about 5 goes last week, did it first try this saturday and first try again later on that day, first 7a! and also trackside dyno! not bad for 4 hours at trackside!

Nice one, although when I went on Tuesday it was sopping wet! Grrrrr!

YYFY, finally got a 7A (cave right-hand at RHS). 

Its probably an easy one but happy to take the tick! Should have had a second one but failed on the last move. Awesome day at RHS and cratcliffe.

YYFY (non climbing related tho)
Had our offer on a house accepted, hopefully this one will go the distance

Unfortunately it's not as good as a new house, but YYFY!: did Gorilla Warfare today, thereby (incorrectly) convincing myself that I can climb hardish burly grit problems

Not so much a yyfy more y ,but had a go on national acrobat and got both feet up in the crack.the fear of the fall is not so bad now I've done it a few times.feel wasted now though.

Nice one Jim, good luck with it, moving can be pretty stressful! You still going to be in north west?

Good luck.  Last October I bought and moved into my first house (Ilkley - any other ukb'ers here?).  In retrospect it was pretty hitch-free but still left me drained for weeks.  The mental pressure of so many decisions of massive importance with always insufficient seeming knowledge.  Noone - e.g. surveyors etc, no matter how much they're being paid, will ever give a straightforward opinion!  Then, once you've moved, endless enervating encounters with utilities, call centres, and trips to Ikea (I went from never having been before to going 5 times in one week).  Still, it'll be worth it for you in the end I hope - best of luck!

Conditions were mint up Burbage North today.
I bagged myself Blind Date, which was my first session on that problem. So Happy

Got my first French 7c at Brean Down on Sunday! Psyched!!! Awesome day - sun trap feeling warmer than Spain! On a different note, some guys were discussing that 5.10 were releasing Dragon Velcros? Any truth to this rumour?

  Just seen the thread on the "Blackwing"...

Discovered I can now do a front lever 

[chillax]

I got a job! A good one too, in line with my qualifications and exactly the kind of thing I want to do.....and its in Ireland! Less of a YYFY, more of an absolute bloody miracle!   

[andy popp]

Bloody good effort.

[slackline]

  Congratulations!

Flashed my first 6B+ today, YYFY! 

[JohnM]

Do you mean 7B+?

[andy_e]

I doubt it, he's pretty weak!

Great day on skis at Glenshee today. Fresh snow groomed perfectly for carving, which I did pretty much non stop from 9 until 2. Off piste awful, either scoured ice or mashed potato. Hopefully mash will consolidate to a base under forecast freeze thaw.

Sometimes living in Scotland is ace.

Just back from the Cliff... Got Underhand done

It was a bit of a battle - I got the hard move, followed by the lunge to the lip (static) first time  (not done it before) but wasnt expecting to do it, so hadn't done the starting moves. Then on subsequent attempts I kept screwing up by trying to do the lip move static, nearly catching it then dragging feet/dabbing etc..... It went with a lunge on the final go of the day as the sun had just set. Thanks loads to Uptown and his friend for encouragement and spotting up the final bit.

So thats the first 7B+ done... now to find me a 7C 

 

[Falling Down]

On a roll Tom! Nice one. 

[andy_e]

Good work tomtom, Keel now eh?

[tomtom]

Good work tomtom, Keel now eh?

Cheers Andy Maybe.. Been having a play on Stu's LH so I think thats the next 'cliff project... On the Keel I've always been a bit put off  by the need to be able to lock off for the pocket lunge, and never found a boot/foot/angle combo to get my foot wedged into the slot.. though Stubbs suggested a person of my lank may be able to do it with foot still in the slot..

[galpinos]

Good work Tom, crushing machine!
