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

Hehe  :guilty:

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

I thought I was still improving and getting stronger on my board, and on rock. Then a couple of friends walked my projects and repeated problems I'd spent lots of time on, so I understood that only my perception of difficulty had improved, not my strength or ability.
Things seemed hard, and they were not.
Booooo.
Time to buy new shoes, and hang them!!!

Did 'Harvey Oswald' in Ogwen Valley today. Never been so psyched topping out a problem! Wanted to do it ever since I started climbing and seen the picture of Katz on it in the NWB guide. A day lived!

Nice work Luke! Get on the sitter next, quality moves! Clue: get even lower down into the hole than you think ; )

16 years after meaning to get round to it, I crushed the driving theory test today. Puntered two questions from fifty which was a shame but half way to driving nonetheless. Very happy.

Nice one Toby shame you did not do this 12months ago ;-)

As for singularity looks incredible and not hard to find for any one in the woods or trying dreamcatcher. I stood under it with tom and Pete but they seemed more interested in the unclimbed(?) disgusting looking crack with rusty pitons below dream catcher.

+1

And in the middle of one of the most popular bouldering areas in north america. Yet unrepeated. Must be properly hard. Tim Clifford should be on Shark's interview list.
Second the motion.  I've been through most of the main boulder areas in the US looking at the hardest lines, and the Singularity is the only one that I truly just can't even imagine how to climb.

Managed to go outside Bouldering in Alaska in January and also put up two new FA's a nice 7A I had been eyeing for a while, and a new 7A+ that is one of my top 5 favorites in AK. It's a rad line that has it all.  Tall, Aesthetic, Dyno, kneebar, heelhook, crimp, pinch, sloper, undercling!!  It was incredible.   :bounce:

looks like a nice line!  Love the fact you were pulled in on skis by dogs, that's gotta be pretty unique

I've been pulled by dogs before. Needless to say I was very, very drunk.
