On-sighted yosemite wall at malham. Not my first of this grade but wanted to do this route since i first saw it in the guide.

[Fultonius]

Good work Fultonius, you must be chuffed.

Cheers - sure am!  Quite a feeling to do something you thought you never could. 

[Will Hunt]

Just got degree classification back. Got a first! YYFY!

[SA Chris]

Nice one Will. Clever bastard.

[Jaspersharpe]

Pah. Bloke goes to university, gets piece of paper. 

Effort Will.

Since I've been in a position of interviewing graduates I don't give anyone who got a first the time of day. They obviously didn't "enjoy" university or make the best use of their time their. It's not because I'm jealous or intimidated, nope.....

Well done Will, hopefully you'll be in the pub celebrating already.

[Fultonius]

All the best folk in life get 2:1s - you should've drunk more!

Good skills!

[slackline]

Well done Will. 

[Falling Down]

  you clever boy you! Well done

[andy popp]

Of course, back in my day, when a first really was a first etc. etc, blah, blah, blah.


Seriously, well done Will.

[Will Hunt]

Of course, back in my day, when a first really was a first etc. etc, blah, blah, blah.

I distinctly remember you saying this whilst on your board one evening. "...back in the days when a first really meant something." I think were your exact words. How they have haunted me!

Thanks everyone!

Everyone knows the best is a Desmond. Even more drinking...or stupidity.

Jesus Will, did I really say that? Sorry! Note to self: stop being boring old fucker.

[andy_e]

Good work Will, now trying using your degree to get a job, if your experience is anything like mine was, it won't be easy.

[Will Hunt]

Don't worry, Andy! I knew it was in jest!
We'll see, Andi. Hopefully I'll do a masters next year and postpone the inevitable fruitless job search.

[andy_e]

Do what I did, get a shit job for a year and climb, then do a masters.

[andy popp]

Will, you're still online. I order you to get down the pub. Now.

[tomtom]

Well done will.

If you delay a year, chances are masters will be 9k too...

[Grubes]

Did my first 6A+ flash today YYFY

[andy_e]

I thought masters courses were funded differently? Mine was £8,000 anyway.

Naa, we get the same 'subsudy' for masters as for ugrad.. So is very likely they'll up the fees..

[TobyD]

Hopefully I'll do a masters next year and postpone the inevitable fruitless job search.

The post graduation job search; i'm in there too. I hear McDonalds is quite a good employer really.....


To return to the thread as it should be.... did supercool 4th RP on Saturday (though the first 3 were on thursday!); best route in the UK for mortals  (rainshadow looks pretty good...) Although this was tinged with more regret than i've ever had on doing a route before: it's so good i wasn't tired of climbing up it yet!

Nice one, I don't think there's much of a  about the quality of Supercool though - it probably is the best sport route in the UK. As for PSCD (Post SuperCool Depression), it's a real condition -  I struggled to find anything to motivate me after SC. My recommendation is to get on Urgent Action before anything else gets pulled off.

[Monolith]

2.1 in degree. Super happy to be done!
