I no longer have to crawl into the back right corner of the cave!  :beer2:

Was a good humid day for sending in there with Laura crushing Bust Lip and then ducko walking up RA  :strongbench:

I don’t often scream or shout when im climbing, but I did today, I shouted as loud as I possibly could as I topped out West Side Story, because it had taken me just 4 or 5 sets of attempts in that single afternoon session. Tonight I am a very happy lad  :) YYFY

Had a big YYFY today shortly followed by a massive NNFN.

Got on a 7c at cheddar (seven months later) which I'd had a play on one day earlier in the year, one go putting the draws in and getting the moves sussed then fired it next go, huge YYFY. First 7c, following first 7b+ only a couple of weeks ago. Was this years goal and went down a lot quicker than anticipated  :)

Had cycled down to get a lift with friends earlier in the day, got back to Bristol and my bike had been stolen  :( Securely locked up in the middle of a busy Clifton on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

So, not likely I know, but if you live in Bristol and you see a second hand Specialized Allez Triple (2005) (XL, silver frame, carbon forks, red/black tyres) for sale/on ebay/etc. please let me know...

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  ;)

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.

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.

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.
