Finally puntered my way up the Pommel On Sunday. Can now take the family somewhere else on days out and save on parking.

I am very happy as of late because Michele Caminati, while working his mega project here, found the time to repeat two of my problems. one in particular I am still very proud of, and he gave it three stars on 8a.nu, commenting "steep and powerful"!!!
this one goes to my "friends" who keep telling around I have not enough experience and references to correctly grade problems.

Fiend · December 29, 2011, 03:40:17 pm

Sounds you have the experience to award worthy stars

Fultonius · January 09, 2012, 01:59:42 pm

Fuck Yeah!!!

Off to the Alps until the end of the season!!!! Chamonix here I come.

Back story:

Joined a new department in my company that was looking into designing/manufacturing offshore wind turbines. 2 months later the powers that be decided it was going to be an unwise investment. Ergo, no job. Well, not redundancy, be re-allocation.

I suggested a career break. Finally, 3 weeks later (over xmas) they said yes!

So, start of next week I should be packing up my car and heading to the alps. Yes..yes...fucking...yes!!!

csurfleet · January 09, 2012, 04:10:13 pm

So much for getting strong on the beastmaker

Fultonius · January 09, 2012, 04:23:02 pm

It's coming with me!

Muenchener · January 12, 2012, 08:32:29 am

Just received notification that I have a place in a group coaching session with Toni Lamprecht

at one of the loacl walls on the 25th.

He doesn't do these very often and it's limited places, first come, first served. Didn't get a place last time he did one, but this time I was quick enough on the "sign up" button.

Zods Beard · January 12, 2012, 06:18:57 pm

I haven't had reason to post on here in a long time but today managed to send Zippys today at a deserted, beautiful Stanage.

2nd 7b, 1st on grit. Cheers to the guys on Sunday for between drizzle beta.

YES, YES, FUCKING YES.

fatdoc · January 12, 2012, 10:52:37 pm

very minor, just did 3 of my old warm ups / training points on me board, after 4 weeks training - and me A2s are intact....

so.... I could actually get a bit better, before Font in 12 weeks.

YYFY, "fatdoc 7a in font" is perhaps on the way...

You should ask him for some cooking tips, I've never seen someone eat so much when camping. Cream, cheese, nuts, pasta, all piled in a huge pan.

YYFY Did The Green Traverse today. My first 7a, on a perfect days at Stanage

leeroy · January 14, 2012, 07:12:06 pm

Did my first E8 End of the Affair today on an amazingly beautiful day

been a target for a few years since i started climbing and today is a real milestone for me. YYFY.

SA Chris · January 17, 2012, 11:01:08 am

Managed to maintain my average of one winter route a year by getting up to Lochnagar on Saturday. Perfect weather; cold but not baltic, cloudless and no wind. Sadly not much in nick after recent mild weather, but neve on route we did was perfect, apart from last 5 m up to and over cornice which had got the sun on it and was akin to climbing sorbet. Luckily I had roped up in anticipation. had a mate with us who had never climbed outdoors before, and we kept telling him it's not always like this! Going to be a disappointment every time after for him now. So nice I might even do another one this winter!
