Fantastic! What a year you've had!!

Go out and celebrate.

SA Chris · July 04, 2011, 02:37:56 pm

Nice one! Was that what you were on track for before the shit hit the fan?

It's been emotional.

Nice, all the hard work recovering from the HD failure was worth it (hope you've got a decent back-up of the new version).

Jaspersharpe · July 04, 2011, 03:01:46 pm

Nice one Tom!

andy popp · July 04, 2011, 09:20:17 pm

Really great achievement Tom, much deserved; as will be the celebrations.

Bit OT but I thought there were fewer firsts about this year, only one or two on the programme I'm responsible for. Tomtom?

tomtom · July 04, 2011, 09:28:08 pm

Mine's a much smaller programme so probably about 5%. Other courses (especially those with significant maths component) were probably much nearer 10%.

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.

motivation not a problem. Skin, conditions, fatigue, yes.

andy_e · July 04, 2011, 11:32:44 pm

Effort Monolith, you deserved it.

Nibile · July 05, 2011, 07:14:33 am

case closed. effort brother.

Will Hunt · July 05, 2011, 10:36:45 am

Well done Tom. Awesome HD disaster recovery.

Monolith · July 05, 2011, 03:35:20 pm

Cheers guys.

(Chris - It could have gone either way re classification but just to recover and come out unscathed was the main thing. Joy oh joy!)

Nice effort to you too Will!

Hope everyone graduating has a good one and may all your YYFY's continue with climbing!

SA Chris · July 05, 2011, 03:40:23 pm

People who get firsts have got the life/study balance wrong anyway

Monolith · July 05, 2011, 04:01:15 pm

I got one in my first degree but you're quite right (at least with architecture where you need to extract your soul entirely to come out much the same employment prospect wise as those with 2.1).

Big big effort to Will. The boy knows SCIENCE!!

Monolith · July 05, 2011, 04:06:25 pm

Seriously too, UKB has been something of an unbreakable crutch these past few months. If faith can be invested in an electronic medium, I'll start the cult. Really, thanks for listening to constant whinging and sorry for listening to constant whinging. Props to every last one of you good people.

SA Chris · July 05, 2011, 07:32:10 pm

mate if what had happened to you happened to me I would do more than moan; I would have cried every past drop of water out of my body.

Now go forth, crank drink, live!

Will Hunt · July 06, 2011, 10:57:15 am

Thanks Tom. Huge props to you. If you've any free time at the moment then this thread might be of interest...

No degree for me yet, (though they havent kicked me out this year) but did manage to get nerve ending today, after playing on it last year, got it 2+1/2 attempts. First 7 at kilnsey, and first 7b in UK. And, a few days ago held the swing on the keel... its only a matter of time!
Got kicked back down by ground effect and fifty for 5, but ho hum. keen for rematch!

CBA · July 10, 2011, 01:08:07 am

Finally managed Underhand at the 'Cliff yesterday,after a serious siege,with attempts into triple figures...what a punter! Nevertheless,YES YES FUCKING YES!!!

GCW · July 12, 2011, 08:51:36 am

Nice one Caleb. Good comeback

CBA · July 12, 2011, 05:34:08 pm

Cheers Gareth. Probably not the best problem for a man with a dicky right hip,but a very satisfying send! And almost a year since my accident too,so an anniversary ascent of sorts.
