New pad arrived from Moon today! Time to get on some highballs...
non climbing yyfy but managed to do my first marathon yesterday in 3hours 43 minutes. was well chuffed because I hadn't trained for it and winged my way round on sheer determination.
A triple YYFY;1. Back climbing this week after a break, I'm rubbish but I don't care.2. We're moving closer to home soon and will be able to visit family/old friends more than a couple of times a year, there are new nephews to see.3. The place we're moving to is Sheffield, apparently it's a great city and there might be climbing nearby.Good times
Beautiful day, at the crag for 8.20, FA done by 9, in work before 10. That's what I call a start to the day!
Been considering the potential for dawn sessions to get a bit of good nick on the grit lately - reckon I could get up unfeasibly early, get a quick session and still make it home for the 8am bus to work. Anyone got any experience of this? Had been worried about potential for dampness/ dew wrecking things.

A bit like pre-work surfing, even if conditions aren't brilliant it sets you up for the whole day. If it's been warm and clear for a few days in a row there shouldn't be a bot of moisture in the air to drop out as it cools overnight, and somewhere that gets a breeze (almscliff basically) should be fine. Just don't leave getting back into Leeds too late and get caught in commuter traffic!edit - more or less what Andy said, but more words.
On the traffic front I did consider dropping the car in Huby and getting the train as my office is right in town.
if you slip with the heel-toe in you might be found dangling head-down by the post-work crowd!
