Thanks lads.

How long until you're out not casting a shadow on the brown limescrittle J?

Have a hospital appointment next month when they'll x-ray me again. Physio reckons I should ask them then about being able to jump off so we'll see. All going in the right direction, still hurts like fuck mind but that's to be expected.

Actually managed to climb outside today  :2thumbsup:
(only the 4th day out since August...)
AND - managed NOT to break myself  :2thumbsup: :2thumbsup:

Went to Lulworth and did a handful of problems
probably not worth the 2 and a bit hour drive but it's the closest climbing to Surrey (that's not softstone)

Bow Wow Arete is almost worth the 3 stars - or would be if it were not for the back breaker block and the chossy as F##k top - did make it spicy though (sans spotters)

If anyone's in the area and thinking about it I'd advise the Dungy Head approach, skidding down to Dragon Rock was scarier than than the arete.

Actually the bouldering is on CrOW land so is now allowed - not that I expect the estate is particularly happy about it but...

Also the signs all say "No climbing on the the cliffs"
I wasn't climbing on the "cliffs" ;D

Multiple YYFY this week! Finally moved into new house,give praise to baby Jebus!!! Now that is out the way, I can finally focus on getting my business up and running. Took a call this morning, landed a nice little contract doing repairs to 30 + metres of walling which will keep me occupied for the next few weeks and also secured the deal to repair a further 15 metres for the local FSC in January!

I know it doesn't count 'cos it's indoor and not much in the grand scheme of things but YYFY I got my first 6B. More importantly it was the hardest thing I've ever done. And on maybe my last session of the year at my wall.  :clap2:, so that's at least one of my aims fot the year done.

Nice one Mark - any move out of trucking has got to be a good one, I'm jealous :)

Actually, the thought of tippers with blue lights might give me nightmares...

Apparently punning is now frowned upon in these parts. Nice one anyway.

Finally did Hurricane at Curbar today. 4th session, never spent so long on a problem before. Typically it felt easy when I did it.
Chuffed!
