Happy Birthday Fatdoc

[fatdoc]

Cheers mate,

One the best days I've had in years tbh... Shout out to those at the plantation that gave me the crongrats shouted over the boulder field on one completion. The wind was so still we could all hear what everyone did!! You could hear a bird's wing beat. Vert rare. Rather special experience. only 4 teams there.

[Mike Tyson]

Fantastic! 

Many happy returns.

[fatdoc]

Cheers pal.. Mint day.

[fatdoc]

As I've said before on other posts recently...

The love of this pursuit..

" it never leaves you"

And that is a good, good thing...

[kelvin]

I left it a bit late this year.

Not late at all... perfect timing in fact 

Glad to hear it's been a great birthday.

Second this- makes it all the more memorable. I remember doing Body Machine on my 40-somethingth- still brings a little smug smile to my chops

1st YYFY climbing related of the eve.. No dis to above...

Today is my birthday.

I don't work on my  birthday... I played Far Cry 4 for 90 mins then saw sense..

 I Don't climb outside as much as I should.

I did today.

I have a maxim ( voiced on here before)... That as long as I can climb font 7a every year... In my middle aged decline... I can still call myself some sort of boulderer.. Has to be done every year.

I left it a bit late this year. It was boiling hot in the sun today at Stanage.

Luck was in my side, two 7as I've done before first go, another 3rd go and SOOO soo darn close to 7a+... Skin then all fell off.

No wind, perfect blue skies, very quiet.

Now... That's a birthday :D

Home made pizza, couple of beers, sore skin... Open fire.

Bed.

There are many reasons I fuck over the parts of my life for climbing , but this ^^^ has got to be up there.

[Monolith]

Happy Birthday Fatdoc! Sounds a top day! Surely with a smidgen of training you could be in Font 8a territory!? Never mind decline!!

[SA Chris]

We completed four days ago . . .

At least I can continue to despise Osborne without feeling conflicted.

It's OK, andyd said he'll give you half, based on the aforementioned swings and roundabouts principle.

And happy birthday fatdoc.

[sherlock]

Yep,Happy Birthday for yesterday,fatdoc and sounded like you had a good one!
Sort of  but still on the subject of birthdays,last night I went out for a birthday pizza with an 80 yo woman who in her  youth climbed with the Creag Dhu and was pals with Cunningham,Robin Smith et al. An amazing  and interesting person.

[Joepicalli]
