Did my first font 6b in a session on Saturday at Bowden - made all the sweeter as it was also my first that was not on grit.

At last I have finally sprockled my way up a sport 8. First ascent of Moddey Dhoo, 8a+ at Trollers Gill. Which means I've got the triumvirate of eights, and an 8 F.A. in each discipline. YYFY

Baldy · April 04, 2011, 09:03:52 pm

quality, congrats!

big tick in the scheme of things it seems, did you try it much?

nik at work · April 04, 2011, 09:46:31 pm

It took a few sessions and a fair number of redpoint attempts.

robertostallioni · April 04, 2011, 09:56:00 pm

Skillz Nik. No surprise at all.

Pah! What's he ever done on grit? Has he really consolidated at those grades? Where is the video evidence? Of course, it's much easier for people that light to get up eights. This "number chasing" is not what climbing is really about. He'd never be able to do all that if he had a job and a family and didn't have all that sponsorship and a training manager and that chauffeur driven limousine and a team of rock cleaners to prepare his projects. Bet he couldn't do Nicks Wall - that's proper hard. Anyone could do it if they had all that Lego^tm training.

oh, sorry - thought I was somewhere else for a moment

Nice one Nik. YYFY indeed.

Non climbing YYFY warning.

I did the Kinder Downfall fell race today. 9.6miles up and down. It was my first fell race and I wasn't sure what to expect but I really enjoyed it, beasted myself and finished in 1:33:28 and 85th place. MINT!

Missus and I skived off work on Friday, left wee man in nursery for the morning and got on the sea cliffs for some cragging for the first time since she was too pregnant to climb any more (late summer 2009). Just the two of us punting up a few easy routes in the warm morning sun, simple pleasures we used to take for granted.

Fiend · April 11, 2011, 04:05:08 pm

Nice one!

Yoof · April 11, 2011, 09:18:15 pm

SA Chris: Sounds rather idyllic! good effort

My spine (which was as crooked as a corkscrew that had been bent) is now straight enough and stable enough to let me do EASY climbs- Roll on the F6bs

remus · April 11, 2011, 10:27:10 pm

9 days in font. Mint weather, trashed skin and great company.

Jim · April 13, 2011, 12:46:04 pm

yyfy.
just seen the consultant and having my bicep reattatched in 2 weeks. really pleased as i was really worried that too mich time had passed to have it fixed (5 weeks since it snapped)

Dr T · April 13, 2011, 12:54:10 pm

Had 3 targets for this Font - ticked them all!!
La Balaine, Yogi and Magic Bus YYFY

Unfortunately my left arm has pretty much given up the ghost

Going to Font with Font Elbow was never gonna be good but rest and ice this afternoon might, might allow a little more climbing tomorrow and Friday - Fingers crossed

Jaspersharpe · April 13, 2011, 12:58:27 pm

Great news Jim and good effort Dr T!

Gus · April 13, 2011, 04:12:17 pm
