This could catch on. Nail a problem and shout "I AM THE SNOW!!!". Can just hear a bunch of annoying Yanks "Send it dude, you're the snow!". Etc.  ;D

Sounds like Andy K - Hull's Second Third Best Climber - is very much "the sneurgh" just now or has been recently, judging by his twitter account.

If we are talking rock climbing, Andy K probably wouldn't even make Hulls top twenty.

As usual not a climbing related YYFY, but I just took another exam to become a lawyer, and the examination board told me I had done good.
So in a few weeks I should be able to go in Court for minor cases.
Still quite tense at the moment, as I could not let out a massive roar as after climbing a new problem setting a new fingerboarding PB!!!

Congrats, that's awesome.

I have this mental image of you in a courtroom and the judge ruling in your favor and you letting out a primal roar while ripping your shirt in half like the HULK!  :lol:

Well its kind of a YES, YES, FUCKING NO!! but..

After 2 1/2 years of trying I reached the 'porthole' (or jug) on West Side Story. I then failed miserably to top the problem out and plopped off :(

Still - pleased I did the physically hard part of the problem - just the mental part now!

Not so much unlucky - more unprepared!
I've not tried the top section alone and unexpectedly found myself holding the jug. The top section is erm - rather high and steeper than it looks from the deck! Afterwards I tried the top part on its own a few times, and didn't feel especially confident - it had started to drizzle...

No ladders were involved in my ascent :)

Lagers - Shark was still trying when I left him, but conditions were deteriorating... the problem was staying dry but it was pretty wet/damp underfoot etc.. Not ideal.

The top is at least 66% PMA. If you commit you'll pull through. Beta: From jug, go right hand out to smaller pocket. Up with left to obvious boss sloper below crack. Run right foot up to break, right hand stretch to small but positive sidepull - COMMIT - TOP.

Thanks JB. I was trying that sequence and got as far as running my RF up in to the break.. but the sloper was feeling greasy/damp (and I was cowardly) so gave it a rest for the day...

Not a major YYFY, but had three awesome days of climbing where it didn't rain (at least not too much :P) and managed to do a few V6s and 7s, despite the fact that I forgot my new shoes and so was left with ones with holes in the front!

Also did a problem that I got totally shut down on in the Summer, and yet felt easy this time! Nothing like a good bouldering trip to get me psyched to train more. ;D

Bagged myself Vienna at Bowden today during a brief visit after a near flash last year. Such a great problem.
