Ticked my first 7c today! Not something I thought would be happening when sat in hospital bed with a smashed up face in March. I had some pretty shameful redpoint nerves and duff beta but it all came together in the end.

Wil - you're not the guy who injured himself falling off soloing at Froggatt back in March are you?

If so, I was one of the people who was there that day, good effort making such a speedy recovery / return to climbing form!

That's me... amazingly I got away with broken eye socket, cheek and nose and a sprained wrist. I have a couple of screws holding bits in place now, but no lasting damage, more than a bit lucky.

I'm afraid I don't remember you, for obvious reasons... but thanks if you were involved in sorting me out!

Aye, I was one of the first on the scene - had a fairly rapid run down / breathless run back up the hill to The Chequers to meet the paramedic!

Glad to hear you've made a recovery and that it wasn't as nasty as it looked on the day.

I had thought it might, i'll go back and spend a few sessions falling off the top out to compensate for this disobedience

Drew · November 23, 2011, 06:08:40 pm

Been a while since I've had anything to celebrate, but finally suceeded on The Terrace this afternoon. It's taken a few sessions. Proper YYFY.

Jim · November 23, 2011, 07:26:22 pm

nice one. windy at burbage north wasn't it

Drew · November 23, 2011, 08:00:35 pm

It was windiest at the carpark fortunately. Terrace was pretty sheltered. Were you guys on WSS later on? Hope you didn't hear my screams.

Jim · November 23, 2011, 08:06:06 pm

yes & no

Johnny Brown · November 24, 2011, 11:15:25 am

Did you hear our horn?

Monolith · November 25, 2011, 12:26:22 pm

Got a promotion in work and the very real prospect to a move to a converted mews in the city with tons of room for a board. FUCKING YES!

Fultonius · November 25, 2011, 12:38:54 pm

You're on a roll this year, after your near disaster with your coursework!

JamieG · November 25, 2011, 12:46:27 pm

On wednesday I had my PhD viva and passed after a bit of a grilling. I think it is more of a RRFR as in relief, relief, fucking relief!!!

See, it was worth missing that festival! Great effort Jamie, time to get all those bank cards changed now.

In another (rather smaller) academic YYFY I got promoted last week and am now allowed to read stuff.

Cheers guys,

Still feel like a fraud calling myself Doctor, but i'm sure it will help when trying to get the bank to give extra money. Maybe not!

All you need to do now is learn to read

Good work all round.

Oldmanmatt · November 27, 2011, 02:41:02 pm

Yes, I was going to say...

I'm allowed to read too.

But only the Beano (and Vis if I'm good).

fatdoc · November 27, 2011, 06:47:53 pm

five weeks off games.... had CT of hand.. no break.. still needing RICE therapy.. tender to say the least.

F8ck it, got the bike out... spikes on... slither time... great day - I was shit, but i was out - I felt epic!

Obi-Wan is lost... · November 27, 2011, 07:17:26 pm

Not climbed much recently but still managed two new 7s at Froggatt today. Then found an awesome place for Sunday roast on our doorstep where the kids were on best behaviour. Oh yeah and I (jointly) won at poker last night.

Pretty good weekend I'd say.
