I can't see what is irresponsible about that! It's not like you were free soloing with the young one in a backpack or anything. Good effort.

Oddly enough I found out last night that I can still do a one arm lock off on both arms after not doing much but run for a few months. Probably because I'm 7kg lighter.

I climbed Taylor Made at Dinas on the weekend for my first 7C.

Extremely surprising since :
1) I regard myself a sport climber.
2) I rarely boulder outside, with previous best being 6C.

Not climbing related, but hey, none of my YYFY will be climbing related if I don't get out climbing! But.....

Submitted invoice number: 1 on Monday for a walling job I did. Then get a phone call on Tuesday from the same people wanting me back to do more work for them. Result.

Also, watched my mrs carry the olympic torch this morning! It was great!  :popcorn:

yesterday, for a brief instant, probably coinciding with the CERN collision that revealed the Higg's Boson, I managed to one arm hang the BM mono, middle finger.
it's a new beginning.

Good effort, especially given the current awful weather, great timing to manage your first anything (except maybe kayaking down a street)  :)

Cheers! Yeah I live in Preston so know the south lakes very well and normally know somethings dry, woke up this morning and saw blue sky so knew lines like the pit, groove, virtrurivan, ironman, pacman will be dry as they get the sun!

Sent a project yesterday which I had been working on and off for the last 12 years! (which of course was followed by a really good beer) :icon_beerchug:

Also stuck the crux move on another project twice, and even managed to link from that move to the end.  In ten years I've only stuck the crux move by itself once.  Psyche is HIGH.

The topo is to be within the forthcoming BMC Cheshire guide, but I'm not sure when it'll be done.  Until then, it's easy to find...

I've just been sent a pdf of the complete and finished Cheshire guide - its looking good. One quick final proof and we'll be pressing print.

Coincidentally the proofs of my own book arrived last night so I'm going to be keeping busy...
