Just did 3 new probs on a nice wall I discovered last week. Lowly grades (5 ish) but challenging enough having not pulled on a hold since June. And in a wild and beautiful spot too. And more to do (at low tide and a calmer sea).

Vid to follow! (once I've hoovered up remaining problems). Joys of wandering the sea cliffs with a small child in a baby carrier is you do have the time to discover previously unseen things. Got projects coming out of my ears once I get some more free time again.

Springtime hopefully! Trouble is by then we are unlikely to be living so close

a yyfy for myself.ive jacked weightlifting for the time been and ready for climbing again.just need to get the weight down,which is happening very quickly with the help of cycling as much as i can.
going the gym is a bloody expensive hobby with all the food i was eating.i also needed a new wardrobe as non of my clothes were fitting.
my partner is crime is now out of action for a few weeks though as in another yyfy he is now a dad
nice one turnip  :2thumbsup:

Yeah went down surprisingly easily; 2 weeks, 2 viewings, 2 offers. Other houses in the village have been on market for 6 months plus

Ditto, glad it worked out well. I am still waiting on a slack bastard plasterer to pay a visit. My dreams of being in the house by November are slipping away!  :wavecry:

I hope no faggotry was used in the ascent.

Good work Andy, not bad for someone who totally quit climbing and was never coming back ever a few years ago.
