Font tomorrow... yes I know it's raining but it might clear up
and it definitely means term is over 

given your recent form and even just one day of good weather, there should be some more YYFY posts coming soon

It's dry... ran out of light pretty much as soon as we got to the rock tonight but the weather looks like it's gonna hold

Weather is good - will take Lager's confidence in my abilities rather than my own.. feel weak as the proverbial kitten but hey ho.. being in the forest is worth a YYFY in it's own right

passed my core skills in the fire service and first person on scene medical training.will be on call later in the week.
then back for 2 weeks of breathing apparatus training.
was bloody hard work but was good,having a water fight with a fire engine and a hose that needed 2 people to hold was a laugh.

[SA Chris]

Thank you.

Lore, some minor work to be done (mostly by others, but I need to do some too), then phase 1 of woody build begins, just something to tide me over for the summer, then I'll crack on with next phases later in the year. Double garage so loads of space to play with.

Got the tape measure out got at least 8.5 ft height my 12 ft wide to play with. No limitation on angle. Decisions decisions!

The Italian edition of Troll Wall, that I translated last spring, won the first prize at the ITAS Mountain Book Festival!!!
Really happy about that!!! 

[Jaspersharpe]

That's quality. Nice one Lore!

Fantastic Nibs. Hope it came with a nice cheque.

Awesome story in any language, group of teenagers rock up to the continent's highest, wettest crag and climb it in Peter Storm cagoules, should be made into a film really.

Nice one Nibs, good work.

I might as well join in. At the weekend I was offered the editorship of the top journals in my field. In terms of career the last six months have been way beyond all expectation - climbing has definitely suffered though. I suppose its up to me to address the balance.

[andy_e]

nice one Poppstar! good news nibs.

[Nibile]

Fantastic Nibs. Hope it came with a nice cheque.

Given the current circumstances, I've been lucky that the cheque was not made of toilet paper...
Great satisfaction though.
And congrats Andy!!!

It doesn't matter what its made of, its what its written on it that counts.

Important typo in mine: it shoud have read 'one of the top etc.' We're talking big fish/small pond stuff.

Meh I'd rather edit the JGS than anything like New Scientist or anything bigger. ..

Work hard, play harder...

Nothing new, you all know. Just adding my little piece of personal perspective.

Respect Andy.

did secret seventh today. well chuffed because I've been trying it on and off for years! conditions on it were brilliant and I finally worked out good beta for it. the moves are ace!

[andyd]

Nice one. It's great when everything comes together on this one.

[csl]

I won a Parkrun! A very slow one, but a win all the same.

[peewee]

Did Jason's Roof yesterday, been wanting to try it for years, Mina's beta worked a treat. YYFY

Well, the kitten weakness was down to a nasty head cold - the things I did climb were definitely enabled by Beechams.

Didn't necessarily climb as much as I would have liked - 5 days on the trot with no rest wasn't necessarily the best idea but the threat of snow (which never came) made rest days seem a poor idea

anyways this is the YYFY thread so...

First 7c in the forest - YYFY
Climbed with Neil H and Dan O again YYFY
Jr T (aged 4) climbed all 29 problems of a 5-8 year old's circuit that I can't remember the name of just north Merciers YYFY
Had a brilliant last day sent on an excellent problem Pierrot which I only decided to look at as an after thought... YYFY - 5 star problem
Left with a longer tick list than I went with - as always

[Duma]

Well. Snowballing's a bit fucking brilliant isn't it?

[tomtom]

Just had a fantastic day bouldering at Horsetooth with Blunk.
15-20 degrees in bright sunshine, cold perfect sandstone and I got to try and see some of the classic John Gill creations. Tired and happy. What it's all about

Finally ticked Tremelo on Saturday - after months of being thwarted by seepage so selective that I once suspected a deliberate evil was at work. 

Unfortunately though it looks like I might be the last person to have done the route as a 7c.  On Sunday, someone pulled a jug from the route - reportedly making the pre-crux section much more sustained.....

So the move to Scotland never came to fruition? My brother had a meeting with the VC at Stirling Uni recently, and it made me think of your possible move.

Punterdom - but epic fun times had in the forest and ticked a couple of 6a's which am chuffed with. Nearly got a 6b too but there's only so much crimping I could manage in 3 days :D

Huge consumption of patisserie goods too.
