Just done Brin Done Before at Brin, 3 years after I first spotted it. Not hard but high, committing, amazing, and the last of the big 3 awesome problems I wanted to do this winter (Gale Force and Le Toit Du Cold De Mouton being the others).

Ta  :). It is. Since that dead end patch of turf is clearly so useful to the owners and critical to land management, I parked on the verge opposite.

Yeah its all a bit weird.
Good effort on the problem anyway, I remember sketching about on the top out.
What kind of nick are the other boulders in? Not been for ages.

I must confess I dismounted onto the tree on a couple of attempts, before finding the right heelhook.

The other boulders were in mixed nick....mostly due to it sleeting on and off despite the dry and sunny forecast this morning. I guess as usual many things needed a brush/trim on top but the underlying rock is as good as ever.

This morning, 8 weeks after dislocating my shoulder, I did an 8a in Siurana. Happy man  :dance1:
(and it was a /+ in the guide)

Repeated the Prow at Middle Hope today (FB pic of James above). Bit sharp, and damp today, but really good line and moves, plus I've not been on rock since the beginning of Dec. Anyway, thanks Beastly Squirrel for pointing me at it.

discharged from the ankle mending department at the Northern General today

 :dance1:

I've got far better function than was expected and would rather have the pain than get the joint fused - I'll go back when this balance changes

there's a bit of a gap still where the blue arrow is pointing and a couple of chippings floating about, but nothing is rotting it works pretty well

An absolutely beautiful day in the Peak today, and three routes/problems that I've wanted to do for ages ticked off the list - Pebble Mill, The Alliance and Piss.  YYFY!
