[tomtom]

Turned 42 a couple of weeks ago and just got my first 7B+
And now for some serious Christmas quaffing 

Cool 7C next..

[shurt]

After the slicing through two tendons on my hand epic in October I've been told I can climb again in a week or two. Easy stuff to start of course but my tendon repair should be back to full strength apparently. Very good news...

Still on the daily physio and movement is approaching normality but the big lump of scar tissue will take a lot more pummeling to get rid of.

[kelvin]

Good news shurt - just take it steady and you'll soon be back on top form.

First V3 flash today indoors - not big news but it made up for not getting leathered last night.

[Baldy]

YYFY!

Did my first ever 8a today.

Indoors at Craggy Island, but well worth the grade.
Outdoors is of course the next goal.
Very happy to get it done before the end of the year, means that I get to tick off one of my 'Aims for 2013'

YYFY! 

[mindfull]

Congrats Kelvin and Baldy.  Whatever level you climb, it's always good fun to up your grade level

Ask me who won the sausages in the meat raffle at Mevagissey Social Club (Lobb`s Farm Shop).

5 weeks can seem like an eternity... End of ulna cartilage complex ruptured and broken down... As previous NNFN posts... Steroid injection 3 weeks ago... Did my blessed yoga for an hour today. Felt a huge release that I wasnt hurting it... 2 hours bike dirt jumping after (easy) just a niggle... Time to ride DH MTB and get back on the board.. Cautiously exstactic..

Had a productive day at Almscliff. First 7C (The Keel, what else?), Bancroft's Roof and Pebble Wall Variation (big surprise to do this!)

Hooray.

*ahem* I distinctly remember you slating a particular problem saying you didn't want to tick something 'soft' for your first 7c...

welcome to the club

[Will Hunt]

Yeah. Will have to go and find a proper one to do now.
Join me in the next crusade. What shall it be? Lager Lager Lager/Crystal Method/Terry/Kermit?

Good work Will, plus all other senders. What's Pebble Wall Variation btw? I know I could google, but.

[Will Hunt]

Ta. It's an eliminate to the right of Pebble Wall. Just to the left of the big crack that is Central Crack and right of Pebble Wall itself. Start on a jug and get stood up in it using undercuts just above. Get your feet as high as possible and then streeeetch for the top. Morpho.

Ah recognise it now. Remember that chap in the pics showing it to me many moons ago, and me failing dismally on it. Nice tick.

[tomtom]

Just back from having my foot xrayed and no break \o/ a close one I suspect and thankfully no need for a pot over the next few weeks (phew)

(Heel-toe stayed locked in when I fell doing the first moves on brass monkey yesterday - metatarsal #4 looked badly bruised and painful)

[JamieG]

Heel-toe stayed locked in when I fell

F***! Glad to hear you are okay. That is literally one of my biggest fears in bouldering. I once got my whole ankle stuck on the start of the cave problem at robin hood's and was clinging on for dear life whilst my spotter tried to take my weight (not insignificant) and free me. Super scary. I thought I was going to snap my whole leg!

I once fell of the first moves of the gypsy at almscliff with my heel-toe in, clicked like badly put together mechano as I spun underneath myself, quite fond on close spots with those type of badgers now.

A bit sore - but just a flesh wound

[SA Chris]

Local prob I've been working has a high heel toe lock and I have to keep avoiding "just having a go" without spotters. Glad it's not too serious for you!
