Yeah I get those dreams often nowdays, it tends to involve a number of one armers on a half pad edge untill I get bored and drop off still totally fresh thinking "wow all this training is paying off nicely!"

Waking up is somewhat disappointing

I dream sometimes I'm superlight too. Fucking dreams.

A few days late but on Tuesday my other half got the all clear to start putting impact on her leg again, 9 months after breaking it really badly in a freak indoor bouldering accident ( full story). 2 months ago they warned that it wasn't healing and might need more surgery, on Tuesday I literally wanted to yell YYFY in the consulting room when they said it was all good. I was way more nervous before than any redpoint or exam.

Celebrated with a Tor bouldering session, psyched out of my tiny mind to be bouldering together again  .

Excellent news mate.... Probably see you both out and about then!

sorry to be a bit macabre, but have you/she written up the accident itself?

My girlfriend has been back to the wall with me a few times over the last month or so after a really bad ankle injury inflicted bouldering at Carn Brae, so I know how good this feels!

Ta. Interesting (in a sickeningly familiar way).

I'm particularly interested in the boots mentioned after reading that. Another article I read recently suggested that tight boots (down-toed especially) stopped the foot being able to absorb any of the impact from a fall and could lead to more breaks.
My boots were pretty much brand new Dragons that were so tight even after they cut twice down the shoe they still couldn't get it off.

It also suggested you could climb anything in soft boots which I would contest.

You snapped because your leg was like a twig.

Did the Lynch today at Ansteys. 1st 7b+ (no quibbles of it being soft for the grade!), long time nemesis crushed. End of an era for me, can't remember how long I've been saying "Got to get stronger for the Lynch..." (actually just checked my logbook and I first got on it, got crushed and began gaining humility back in 2009)

Nice work chap! Is that the one you were on when I was there a couple of weeks back?

 

[PipeSmoke]

Climbed my first E5 yesterday, first go and ground up after watching someone else send it. It's a pretty sketchy solo so chuffed to man up and send it with out any top rope practice before hand!

[Sloper]

Fuck yeah! Almost got out of bed to do some one armers, but I fear the second Old Fashioned will have zapped my oomph. It's not just weddings where it's hard to find people interested in discussing one armers. I've failed to engage people in this discussion on many social occasions.

Also, does anyone else have the many-easy-one-armers dream?

Further and better particulars required, we may be at cross purposes.

Cheers! Think that was Threadbare LH at Torbryan. The Lynch is a bit steeper and demands a blood sacrifice for every attempt...

Fixed, and why stop at the leg.

My relationship with the place never recovered from the NNFN flood in winter 2012.

Congrats. I'm not sure why re: the above, I thought it was a great house.

Nose-in-a-Day! 21st June, 30 years to the day since the last time. A lot slower - 23 hours - but just as fun.

Unless you're talking about the Burbage West mini-classic, that is well  ....and congrats

Fantastic

FFS Mr Modesty ...

Yes, this seems pretty immense.

And in my idiocy I hadn't realised which Duncan Duncan is!
