Fat fuck do good Yesterday I completed a sprint triathlon after being a complete fat fuck and not being able to run 2 miles without having to stop at the start of august and I did not finish last.I then entered the battle of Britain at the depot and again I did not finish last
Ah, thought as much - still happy with the tick at 6B though
Trackside at Curbar is oft stated as one of the softest 7A's in the Peak if you're after one to go for....

I should probably be posting in NNFN that I've not ticked it over three night sessions then. Seriously can't seem to make the heel sit well enough to actually touch the top.
I always thought Trackside climbed pretty horribly. Maybe I was doing something wrong.

Seriously can't seem to make the heel sit well enough to actually touch the top.I'm short and inflexible and trackside used to be almost impossible even when Early Doors was a warm up!The heel lets you tickle the top. Then give it some more. (I'm 5'10")I'm 5' 7'' on a good day and I can reach the top of the heel. As has been said - concentrate on rotating the heel so your toe starts off at 9 o'clock, and ends up pointing almost to 6 o'clock and you'll end up almost sat on your hip. I have in the past got to the stage where I could take both hands off and grab the top!Can't link direct to photo as it's FUKC but: http://www.ukclimbing.com/images/dbpage.html?id=112834

Not climbing related but just secured tickets to see Ryan Adams in March.... YYFY!!!Once waited for an hour and a half for him to come on stage at Glastonbury and ended up not seeing him. Missed out this year when he did a few gigs around the place so proper mad up...
