Dense maybe you could start your own thread called 'You are shit shit fucking shit', where we can all post about things that have made us happy, but you could counter-post pointing out that we're actually all pretty average. Afterall, it's good to keep grounded   :hug:

Things have been falling together recently. Got Not My Stile, New Jerusalem and the Pinch ticked at Caley. Also worked up the courage for Permutation rib ;D

But today the cherry on top was getting Demon Wall Roof done! My first V7, well happy :great:

How the hell do you get youtube vids to appear auto-magically - sure there used to be a button to do that...  :???:

Nice one.

Also worked up the courage for Permutation rib ;D

Remember shitting it good on that in pre-mat days, was there on my tod and my bottle went when I got across onto the arete, and stood there gibbering in the fading light. Realised only choice was to man up and get on with it. recall it was a pretty productive evening - did Angel Wall and Rabbits Paw Wall for the first time on the same evening.

Not climbing related and I am risking the wrath of Lee as "someone getting a job" isn't particularly interesting ;-) but..... I got a new job/promotion managing a new store in Carlisle! Happy days finally :-)

don't misunderstand me so fast, getting a new job is a YYFY, going on a road trip for 6 mths is a YYFY, having sex for the first time (yoof) is a YYFY, going bouldering in britain on a british website is not really a YYFY moment is it?
on a more serious note, i would be up for that reeve and you still need to get your hair cut.

Im only yanking your chain mate! To answer the questions I am now working for White Stuff selling clothes to yummy mums but coincidentally the Ann Summers shop is only a few doors away so if your still after your usual black studded size XL plug you adore so much Jim I can actually help!

Despite the rain (down south), had a particularly good day of 7a o/s, 7a+ o/s (although a bit of eliminate) and a 7c 4th go! Only second 7c yet...so, I was/am pretty chuffed! (Sport climbing in Cheddar)

which problems did you onsight?

Good work on the 7c - was it mescalito?

I was down on saturday and had a strange day of zero psyche but also climbing fairly well.

HI Archie,
So the 7a which was great fun was Raw Deal (soft, but awesome)...the 7a+ was The Minstrel - not recommended as too eliminate - I followed the chalk and it took me right instead of left (guidebook doesn't mention either).
Then Seven Months Later was the 7c - awesome! Finger locking, fist jamming, toe jamming, arete climbing, heel hooks - short but everything is in it!!! Really recommend it!

I'm not sure if I should have run this by Dense first to see if it meets the criteria for the YYFY thread, but anyway...

Finally got Virgin Traverse done today - at last!

Been one of the things I've known that I need to do in my quest to tick all the problems up to 7a in the last guide, and I have to say it's one of the most protracted sieges I've had in ages...for 6b+!

That said, it's well out of my comfort zone - I don't do burl or stamina - so despite the lowly grade am stoked to get the tick. I've personally found this harder than Dolphin Belly Slap (which I ticked in a session, with a hangover and a bruised bottom from pinging off one of my initial attempts), and Gorilla Warfare (similar in that I lacked the stamina to be precise enough on the final moves), but at least they're at the top of my grade!

Yorkshire eh?  ::)
