A life's work.

Though there are different orders of "Life's work".. which gives me a good idea for a thread, longest gestation period for a YYFY?

[tomtom]

tl;dr: I redpointed my first 7a today yyfy.

 

CONGRATS!!!

Nice one Muenchener!

[Nibile]

 
The first of many to come!

Top work Mr Muenchener 

Really pleased it's all come together this year.

Thanks (K and others). Yeah. The alpine summer was such a total washout, I was really hoping for a decent Autumn sport season to redeem the year. And it has come through in trumps.

[ummagumma]

Congrats Muenchener   

What and where is the route?

I like my reachy routes!

[Muenchener]

Might be a bit of a reach for you - it's Biset at the Griesener Wandl, a few miles west of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Be happy to show you it if you're ever in the area, nice little sunny spring/autumn crag.

[ummagumma]

Cool Münchener.

It's not to bad. Only a hour and a bit away. Drop me a pm if you are without a partner. I'm based in Innsbruck.

On Monday I got out and nabbed an ascent of End of the Affair.

Since my entire trad ticklist goes:

• HS 4b
• E1 5a
• E1 5b
• E3 6a

I'm mostly happy that I didn't break my legs. 

I'm also not sure, but my mate reckoned it might have been the first grit E8 of this season? Does anyone know any different?

Video here:

That's a definite YYFY Baldy - nice one!

[Sloper]

Good skills, looks like a great day out.  There's a short and quite safe E6 (about F6a) to the right which I seem to remember being very good and with a  few pads rather fall offable.

[Nibile]

  beast!

[andy popp]

Nice one boys! Not sure I'd have fancied that jumping sequence though

I think Ryan flashed it that way

Yes. It's not.

Good effort though.  Took me more than 5 years to get from E1 to E2! 

[Baldy]

Yes. It's not.

Fair enough,

The jump sequence isn't actually much harder, can actually feel a bit more secure if you have the nerve...but that is exactly the problem...

[andy popp]

It was the insecurity I was thinking about, mind you its not like the normal sequence is super secure.

[fatdoc]

goose bumps...

tears in eyes..

as in, a great piece of film. respect to u guys for the route, and sharing this. gotta b one of the the best grit classics of modern times to aspire to... sweet!!

[Jaspersharpe]

Great little film, and well done!

[sherlock]

Great stuff,really enjoyed that!

[Oldmanmatt]

A totally egotistical YYFY.
Our Bunker Girls took 1 and 3 on the jnr podium today at Bloc. Kiera took her first 1 and my eldest Stacy got her first podium on 3!
Not sure yet how the sponsored lads posted as had to drive the Jnrs home.

And 8 year old Lily in 2nd was a star!
