I would always climb over training on a board but the only thing I can train on atm is a beastmaker, hitting peaks on sat and going to be climbing outside a lot more hopefully as I moved nearer to rock recently. My technique defo needs some improvement, but hopefully gonna get that by climbing outside more. Up until now I havn't been able to climb outside all to much, and not really much at all on grit so hopefully my grit tech'ers should improve pretty quickly  got the roaches an hours drive away so gonna try and find a 7a to project there me tinks:)

Look at too drunk, good steep crimpy 7a or sleeping with the flowers (6c+ but some say 7a). Sidepull wall along the edge is a great 7a aswell, good luck

Keep driving past the Roaches and get yourself on Stall arete at Gibb Tor, and the Fin.

Went to the roaches today, sent calcutta traverse that I dabbed on last time I was there, sent the 6a arete on Tetris boulder and tried too drunk, only got one move but is a proper kl problem and defiantly going to project it

Did the Cave at RHS today, my first 7a, at the ripe old age of 42. After a year of worrying health problems, it's just the tonic I needed.

I know its a route, so prob shouldn't post it here, but I did Heading the Shot first go on sat having had a few ground up attempts a year or two ago! Clips were in but I climbed the crux onsight... definately a YYFY moment clipping the anchors looking out over Moel Eilio and onto Anglesey! Super happy as it's my first Fr7a+ lead clean, and the fact I flashed it is awesome! Back into the swing of trying hard again!

Hope everyone's had a good weekend!

YYFY!

bring on the Italian power soup

I was faced with the prospect of another staggeringly disproportionate admin role at work, explained why I was really opposed to taking it on and have been told fine it will be given to someone else. Not sure if this is a YYFY or just a TFFT...

I handed my notice in at work last week. I have come to realise whats truly important in life, and missing out on spending time with my loved ones to pursue a career in an awful place is just not right.

Brilliant.

having gone to el chorro with a massive target list and improved strength from a solid winter of bouldering i was hopeful i would be able to climb something hard. two days in all i had done was fail on everything 7a<. unfortunately all of my bouldering (and lack of any bolt clipping since october) had obviously not been the best prep for the 30m stamina pitches of this place. however after a week of slowly building on 7as and bs i went back to el triangulo and got on madre salvaje, the classic 7c that had burnt me so badly on the first day. i re-learnt the moves but still couldnt link it in any sections. i persuaded a german guy trying the route to leave his clips in and let me have one go at linking the route (being the 2nd to last day and 3rd day on it was probably going to be my last chance of doing it) I climbed the route in woeful style, slapping and cutting near the top, forgetting sequences etc but astoundingly to me (and the climbers at the crag) i reached the chain. just goes to show the "last day" effect. hope it has the same effect for dom tomorrow on lourdes...

Went to Curbar this morning with Galpinos, had a fun session and ticked Seans Arete. I'm pretty psyched: I did it in a session, it is my first bonafide 7b, and it was really fun. YYFY with knobs on.

That's an impressive one to do as your first, techy!

too true, deliverance is the only other problem that has taken me more sessions, great effort sam 

[erm, sam]

If I have a strength it is being techy, and I'm lanky. Still, I'm totally made up. Cheers all.

not bouldering (d'oh), but I'm very happy, today I finally managed to hang the small pockets, back2, with 6 kg on!!!
it was a real goal of mine, don't know how I managed it, but it happened!!!
I reckon a perfect positioning is crucial.
YYFY!!!

it was a real goal of mine, don't know how I managed it, but it happened!!!
I reckon being massively overstrong for my project is crucial.
YYFY!!!

Totally unexpected send of Dreamland. All it took was a mate to spot the foothold!
