Do you have a friday lunch finish already Chris? We do and it's ace.

Is that making your current 50% official or 50% of the 50% you work?

Guess there's only so much coffee a man can drink in a day...

Is that with work, or Mrs TT?
I'm on a 60/40 setup. Three days at work, two days with sprogs. Go for it TT.

Schoolkids are there 'til 3 or is it 3:30? every day, be nice to finish early on a Friday, we used to have it at School in SA. I work flexitime. My core time is 10 to 4, rest is flexible

Monday, I could take of the brace on my left-arm. Muscle was diminished to nothing. Yesterday I did my first pullups in over 6 weeks. Still able to do sets of 5 reps, mostly, using the force of my right arm. Not all is lost! 

[SA Chris]

What did you do? Just don't overdo it!

[mindfull]

Got surgery on the legt arm. Got full functionality in the left hand back, except for my pinkie.

For some reason the engineering firmsin Manchester have hung onto the luchtime finish on a Friday of the factories/workshops of old. It's great getting a Daddy/daughter afternoon every week.

[SA Chris]

Everywhere I worked in SA was the same. It was pre kids too, so it was either braai (barbeque) behind the workshop in summer, or down the pub in the winter, an early start to Friday nights.

Get in! Can't believe you were strong enough to hang one armed at end of traverse to match then you had to put your heel up, I thought you were just gonna nonchalantly campus the last bit

[tomtom]

Cheers Dense. Though nonchalantly campus are words rarely mentioned around my climbing style :D

A little more endurance helped - learning to rest longer between attempts (20 min) and funnily enough telling myself to relax a bit once I got the final jug really helped... made the final section easier..

[Wood FT]

nice one Tom! I remember that feeling well

[andy popp]

Yay!!!

Hopefully my first of many posts in this thread and, being a newbie none of them will be like in the videos just posted but...

... started at Climb North East this afternoon and had a good attempt on the red area's F3a-F4a problems. Hands are knackered , body isn't aching as much as expected yet but YYFY, I've found something else I enjoy that will get me out of the house

[fried]

Nice one!

I'm back from a 3 week holiday and the limiting factor for indoor sessions at the moment is sore hands, takes a while to get some nice protective hard bits on 'em. Have fun.

[Anth Gaskell]

Cheers fried. Unfortunately it's pay day today so I can afford to buy some gear already :D

what I thought

[fatdoc]

Last November I ripped the crap out of  my left wrist, completing a 3 year project on my board... This left me with MRI evidence of a degenerate TFCC complex, large amounts of oedema inside my ulna, and constant pain.

Climbing was a roll of the dice, even with a strapped wrist.. As to whether I could sleep after any climbing. Now, I don't climb every day, not even every week.. But hell.. When you can't It really damn pisses me off...I was told surgery would be useless.. As I pound the crap out of my wrists riding downhill tracks on my bike... I eventually got a an appt via meadowhead physiotherapy to the EIS head physio of olympic hands... Boxing based...

A hideous 12 weeks of puke inducing dumb bell exercises before work ensused...

Today... With rather good cons.... As a family we had a blast making up a shit load of eliminates on the boulders above Froggatt.. Loads of fun.. Nothin above Font 6b.. I don't care... The wrist wasn't strapped... It doesn't hurt.

Shit the bed... It's healed.

Thank fuck for that.

The physio.. That gave me the rehab programme... Cost £40...

Best money I have EVER spent...

:D
