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.

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".

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!!

Did Purrblind Doomster in Cambusbarron Quarry yesterday.

Nice one, been keen for that for a while.

[Fiend]

Thanks. It lives up to the quality and does exactly what it promises.

It had gone from "looks cool but well beyond me" in the previous Lowland Outcrops photo, to "maybe I can aspire to that" after doing Chisel and Big Country Dreams in 2009, to "I need to do this" this year. Old inspirations....

Good effort!

Did Purrblind Doomster in Cambusbarron Quarry yesterday

Fine effort! Looks great in the photos in the blog.

[Fiend]

Thanks, the pictures kinda don't do it justice, although it does look a bit dank and grotty in real life of course 
It's a real classic climb though, good climbing all the way, and great character with it's defining features: thin crack to a good pod, last gear for a while as the crack blanks out, step onto the arete, very committing but steady climbing on blind slopers to a massive jutting spike and a lot of relief.

[Jaspersharpe]

Nice one Fiend. Cracking effort. Gives cripples like me hope of (yet another) comeback.

I climbed from the apron to the first peak of the chief today
18 pitches from bottom to top.

One of the best days out climbing I have ever had
Nothing hard mainly vs standard maybe a couple of hvs pitches. Ended by soloing a short slab to the top of the chief. An amazing feeling.

By 9 I think we were about half way up banana peel

[SA Chris]

8 new problems in an afternoon. Best session on rock for god knows how long. Hands in bits. Detail to follow.

Looks BBBIIIIIGGGGGGGGG! Hope you've got a big car

[psychomansam]

Seeing as I'm currently flirting with triple digits in those newfangled kilos, I thought one of these might be needed! This, another two mats, a montain bike and shitloads of other kit will all fit in the Mondeo!

Great effort Toby!

[AndyR]

Thanks! Do let jcm know if you run into him. I recall some vague bet as to which of us might drag our elderly bodies up one first.

Assuming you've won, what do you win?
Chance to retro-bolt a route of your choice?

Nice one Toby
Was this Friday on your way to Vancouver good effort after just a couple of days before saying you were still not ready to rp properly

[ben]

Yeah, I rescheduled a couple of things to get a half day at Murrin on Friday. Then "celebrated" by vacuuming our suite ahead of a tenant moving in, then driving 500km to the Okanagan for son #1's football match today.

I reckon some of these superstars could learn a thing or two about how to party from you    congratulations!
