Nice one Jack. I remember seeing one of those years ago with the best personalised number plate ever, N1NJA (although the tarted up Astra GTE/somesuch chav hot hatch with R8GUD runs it a close second).

[Moo]

Thats the chaviest comment an account has ever made anywhere ever 

[Jaspersharpe]

Hmm. I probably should point out then that I can't stand wankerplates and would never have one, but the former is the only one I've ever seen that was actually very cool and the second, well, I still think it's hilarious.

[Grubes]

There is a jag in huddersfield with a license plate of something like d134 hed

Seriously why would you get that

[JackAus]

There's a guy around here that drives a black Commodore Ute with the plate BAD247.... Apparently he's had it for about 15 years changing it from car to car.....

[tomtom]

I've seen BEAUT UTE in Darwin

Live from an ocean of madness, trembling fingers, bulging forearms, exploding ego.
Just climbed this.

Just plastic I know, but beautiful plastic.

Can you put a number to this Nibs? You can't tell if you've just crushed an evil 8th grade or puntered a 6! Either way, nice one; you look like you've put everything into it. Just curious...

[Nibile]

You put me in a very difficult position Andy. I'm never sure about what I climb on my board. I judge things by the effort and the time they require... Then I think that some of my stronger friends would crush them in flip flops.
The first part of the problem, to the wooden pinch LH was a boulder in its own. I worked it for a season. Then I also repeated it, then I could not do it anymore for one year and half. I did it one month ago and put the second part on. This one is very doable but you get there pretty tired and the swing of the dyno is hard. Hold is good though.
I appreciate your direct question and your sincerity, and I'll try to be as sincere. I think it's hard 8a or 8a+.
I have other footage, I'll put it on so you can have a better idea and I as well.
P.s. I always have a spare room at home, so anyone can come for a session or two or three!!!

[andyd]

Nice one. Thanks for the reply. I find it hard to grade stuff on my board. I know some of the things I do are at my complete limit, but to only watch, without feeling the holds or pulling on, can be a little misleading.
I hope the efforts inside are paying dividends outside!

[Nibile]

I hope the efforts inside are paying dividends outside!

I basically don't climb outside anymore.
When work will be settled maybe, but probably not before long.
It's not a problem though, my board is great and I love training.

YYFY! I've just gotten a full time job from Sept. Moving back to Sheffield.

[Jaspersharpe]

Congratulations Sam. 

[Nibile]

Good news!

[Nibile]

Just got back from the Court of Justice, where I pledged as legal solicitor. Not fully a lawyer yet, but getting closer.
I debut tomorrow at the Juvenile Court in Florence.
This is getting cool.

[SA Chris]

Nice! Will you be defending?

[Nibile]

Yes! Hopefully it will be a penalty kick without even the goalkeeper: the prosecutor himself will plead him innocent.
Edit: to be more precise, the prosecutor won't plead his innocence, he'll ask for not going on with the accusation because of the "particular tenuity of the fact".

[Sloper]

YYFY! I've just gotten a full time job from Sept. Moving back to Sheffield.

Nice one, I presume you're in one of the nice prep schools out in S10
Although with the 90 hour weeks teachers work it will be difficult to get out on the grit.

[SA Chris]

No limits to your dickishness is there Sloper.

[Sloper]

about 6"

YYFY! Managed to skip from from 7a to 7b+ in Font this week by getting up Modulor at Franchard Sablons. Will be years before I tick anything that hard again, but it's always nice to fluke something that suits you

[JackAus]

Yeah Ben!!! Good stuff!!

[Andy W]

   Never posted in this thread before, but it seems like a good opportunity. On Friday I managed to get up my first F8a, albeit at Cheddar and in terms of quality and reputation best summed up in the words of my friend Dan...'well, see it as an entry level route'. The sweetness of this tick is that I gave myself a deadline about 4 weeks ago, the deadline being my 50th birthday, the other noteworthy factor is that the next hardest sport route I have done this century is 7a. Oh and I live in Cornwall, the county in which we are not allowed sport climbs

[andy popp]

As one who turned 50 earlier this year let me be the first to say ... bloody fantastic effort!

[kelvin]

Nice work Andy! From 7a to 8a in four weeks... not bad for an old fart 

50 myself next year - doubt that's work for me tho.

Massive YYFY!
