Do you see the light?

What took you so long?

Stay there if you can, the best days in the UK won't measure up to the worst there.

Jeepers Dunny, good arrows - assume you got that thing on the Virgin done then? You were hella close last weekend.

7a+...question? Don't tell me you did DWR did you?

As a certain disgraced Scottish football pundit would once have said, "Tek A Bow son"!

I don't believe this. The 7b must be soft. You must have dabbed, Huw. You know jump starts and leg ups aren't allowed at the Cliff?

well done...I suppose

Minor YYFY: After living in California for a year someone finally took me out surfing. Loved it so much I went back out the next day, and even bought a wetsuit. Where has this been all my life? Falling Down - now I know why you get so excited about it :-)

I've not surfed for ages  :-[

Effort word - so go on then, toe in the back or heelhook on DWR? Seem to remember you said you'd been trying the toe method?

A quiet but promising yyfy. 1st morning in the forest. Went to Sablon and spent an hour or so hunting Gruffalo with the boy whilst waiting for the grease to lift. Did Jokari 7a+ (7a), Le Journal du Hard 7a+ (7b in the 7s and 8s book) and Sale Affaire 7a (flash) before rain stopped play. Not too bad. Gorge aux Chats tomorrow I think.

I you had bagged a Gruffalo as well it would have been awesome. Apparently they eat scrambled snake, so you could set a trap.

Silly old Chris, don't you know? There's no such thing as a Gruffalo.

Effort Dr T. They look like cool problems.

But you can't hunt whales in Font. And snails are no fun to hunt.

but you have the same chance of catching a whale as a gruffalo.

(you really think a French Gruffalo would eat scrambled snake, more likely to go for snake-en-croute or garlic snake)

A big yyfy not climbing related for me. Big Splash out on a Gibby Les Paul Trad in Iced Tea Burst with 57 pickups and tradition mohog body. Work of art. Thunderous sustain & plays like a dream.
