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!

Thanks Chris - I'm normally much less 'gung ho' but as there were mats and people about I just went for it without thinking.. that'll learn me!

I once carried a very young Andi T down from Almscliff after he busted himself with a heel-toe stuck in that pebble variation.  Didn't know it was him until many years later when I read about it in Summit.

[Falling Down]

Glad you're OK Tom...

[Will Hunt]

Shiiiiit. Glad to hear you escape unscathed.

[tomtom]

thanks Gents.. lucky one I recon..

[Blunk]

Yes Tom, glad you're safe! That sounds awful!

Finally ticked the bulb at Almscliff today! After being one of my top spankings of 2013 it's my first boulder of 2014, get in
Very happy, many sessions and too many times falling at the last hurdle. The siege is lifted 

Right now to go somewhere that isn't the Cliff.

[Wood FT]

nice one, probably the only tick in the country today

I'll believe it when I see it.

Not so fast.... I managed a mighty 7a tick today (I think that's right: Black Wall traverse). Get me with my great big grades!!

Top effort! Even more of a tick as the weather has been shocking!

So I had a fairly decent session on Tuesday at Eden Rock with Hockstack and TC. Managed to flash one of the "woods" which I was fairly chuffed with. Turns out it's Font 7a, so I'm pretty pleased 

Have also massively reduced my booze intake, virtually non existent now. Foot is nearly better so running can commence again and back training Thai boxing again next week.

I will be fit and in shape by the summer, by God I will!!

My PhD corrections have been accepted. Nice to have it out of the way as I finished ages ago but everything has been slowed down by the fact that I am working full time in a demanding post-doc.

I don't ever want to look at it again. 

[old cheese]

 Good work mike. Fancy round 2 down on st bees in feb. me and the family are up for a week again in feb from the 15th to the 22nd and I am guaranteed to get a day of 2'out at least

[Mike Tyson]

Sounds great Neil. I promise to take more care this time, and may even take more mats and an emergency set of crutches!!

whilst discussing our plans for moving house, Mrs Starfish asked "would you be able to build a bouldering wall in the new house?"

she brought it up first - her idea

Y Y F Y !

they understand in the end. We've just had the hallway decorated and mrs rich d told the painter not to fill in or paint over the screw holes where the beast maker normally lives. Just need her to start talking about putting a bouldering wall up in one of the spare rooms now...

[fried]

When we moved flat, my missus said it'd be fun to put holds down the hallway....I don't think she realised how often they'd need to be reset.

Be careful, wife gave me the idee to build a wall in the garage. Said and done.

The first time I was going to our ordinary training wall with my friends I was told I could train at home after the kids were put to bed....

train at home after the kids were put to bed....

this would be the main reason for having it

my main worry is that I will invest many sessions developing the hardest problems I can manage and when Jasper comes round he will climb them in his trainers whilst holding a glass of wine in one hand

Going to the wall with friends isn't that much about climbing then your on parental leave with a 2,5 and a 1.5 year old, it's more about an hour of actual social interactions with grown ups who's main interest isn't eating, shitting and sleeping patterns of their own infants....

I reckon most of the folk on here's social interactions do revolve around eating, sleeping and a shed load of shitting.

Plus I think the term 'grown ups' is stretching it a bit...

Yup, seen bigger hissy fits at boudering comps than my kids have ever managed.
