For the first time in Climbing Career 2.0 I've climbed something that's definitely harder than anything I ever did in my dim & distant youth.

That must be well satisfying! Nice work dude

Excellent

There's many a fine tune played on a retuned fiddle! Good work

Strong strong strong BM session today. One armed the incut rung with 6kg on, then added 2 kg to all the other hangs. Hung the 45 with 12 kg for a couple of seconds. Then proceeded to crush board problem in front of perplexed girlfriend. Straight in bed. Currently dining out for the Palio, full of tortellini and red wine. This is good.

Effort GvG. Injury getting better!

And Lore - sounds like a perfect day!

Cheers, unintentional alpine starvation helped a bit

Did someone attach a mars bar to the chain?

Not massive in the grand scheme of things but I did punker bunker yesterday. Last time I was on it a few weeks ago it felt impossible.

Its 2am and I'm in a tent dancing enthusiastically to an extremely fine Jon Hopkins set. The young girl next to me grabs my arm and says 'How long have you been raving? I think its just wonderful.' She didn't add but definitely meant 'at your age.' Then her mate tried to buy some pills from us. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry (YYFY or NNFY?) but in the end decided to take it as a (sort of) compliment.

Sounds like heaven!

Go for it Andy

Flashed a classic sport route (The One And Only at Brin Rock) the other day with a crux where I had to do a full on slap for a shelf from a slopey pinch....with a bolt beneath my feet. The sort of thing that most climbers would take for granted but is a source of some surprise/amazement for me

iain · August 22, 2013, 12:15:10 pm

I'm with you on that, nice one

JackAus · August 24, 2013, 05:54:22 am

Just found another new area! Fucking awesome boulders strewn in a small valley creating its own little rainforest... Proper jungle-y. Massive coarse sandstone blocs... So much potential...

SEDur · September 02, 2013, 05:30:41 pm

Finally there were good conditions at the Tor, with is good enough in itself.
Also managed that weedkiller traverse, witch is the first of the grade for me.
Did it twice (almost three times) while working the reverse.

Its been a pretty happy day so far.

Just seen this. Superb Mr Popp.

Also did weedkiller today after trying it on and off for 3 years. Then I did all the moves on powerband for the first time. Best days climbing ever.

Just did Bucket Feast static

Before the guidebook enthusiasts flock to their extensive libraries to find the location of this little known problem, Bucket Feast is the mainstay problem of the Headingley based woodie and rave enthusiast "Tek Noe Board".

That's a great spoonerism

Did Purrblind Doomster in Cambusbarron Quarry yesterday. Might not mean much to many people being in a grotty north-facing Central Belt Quarry, but it's a brilliant climb and has inspired me for the last few years....one of the harder things I've done, and whilst not that desperate doing it, possibly the biggest deal for me this year....the crux was trying to calm down my shaking before I set off!!
