Kevin sent 15.

YYFY! 

[lagerstarfish]

healthy 9lbs! Made up.

much more convenient than those kits you have to put together yourself

nice one

[SA Chris]

Yup. I'll wait a few months until the incessant wailing and rancid poo gets less

[andy popp]

All kind of rubbish accumulates along my drive (there is public footpath the other side of the fence that runs alongside) and there has been a carrier bag caught up in one of the bushes for at least a week. When I went out to clear it up a minute ago I found it contained an unopened (seal intact) bottle of Talisker Storm Single Malt!

[Monolith]

Sorry Andy, that was a cruel joke. It's actually just urine inside that I sealed back up. I might as well take it back from you now eh...

Good find!!

[andy popp]

Now you're just taking the piss.

[andy popp]

And now my exhaust has just fallen off. At least that means I have a good excuse not to taxi the children all evening, as I was going to have to. Which means I can enjoy trying the whiskey.

Sometimes the stars and planets just align themselves, go with it.

Nice one Andy, jammy sod!

Burns Night too tomorrow - get some early practice in, it's your duty as a British citizen to drink Scotland's finest until the poetry makes sense (unfortunately, as I have no haggis, I'll have to double-up on the scotch...... shame).

For the first time in ~15 months I climbed for an entire session, on a variety of hold types, with no tape on the middle finger of my right hand. I even crimped on the little mutha fucka. Plus had a sweet day despite greasy dampness.

[Ally Smith]

BANG TIDY!
9a awaits

[a dense loner]

I hope you're joking? I've climbed a few times with Alex recently 

[kelvin]

Ouch

[AMorris]

very much a personal YYFY, but today I attained two of my training milestones:
1) Pinky monos
2) one arming the smallest edge on the Beastmaker 2

this has been a good year for getting strong, only a few months till my local limestone cave is open for business again!

Was originally going to post this in NNFN but had a think and being positive and putting it here instead. YYFY bit:

Spent an hour shovelling snow off of the dick Williams boulder at Secret Garden yesterday. Thought I may have wasted my time because water was running down the face yesterday but to my surprise it was dry today. Therefore lots of people got to enjoy climbing on it today and one woman climbed left hand man which looked to have been a bit of a project for her.

NNFN bit:

Fell off of the easy mantel of Dick Williams 3 times in a row and by the time I refined the beta it was getting too dark to rest long enough to have another try.

So a bit of non-karma there but glad I enabled the boulder to be climbable and I don't mind going back because left hand man looks like some cool funky moves too.

[Sloper]

I fell off the top of this (in every way imaginable) more than 100 (slight exaggeration) times and never did the f-cker.

But good skills for cleaning problems.

[cha1n]

Well I did the topout off of the block a couple of times and thought it wasn't too bad but people were spotting feet for me, then everyone left/were doing other things when I actually tried it from the start and it's a bit harder as you're quite pumped by then! Plus I was using some short person's beta for the start which felt really bunched but worked out some beta that works out better once I was knackered.

Annoying as it doesn't feel like a hard problem when you have the beta but I suppose it's always the way...

Maybe as a shorty I had the wrong beta, or my famous  lack of flexibility meant I couldn't rock over enough, I've never been back, one that got away.

After breaking my wrist/forearm in 26 places in 2007, pressups have literally been a pain. Either on knuckles or stands if I don't want to collapse in a heap and lose the use of the wrist for a few days. Been working on gaining more movement with it lately and tonight I thought I'd give it a go,  managed 56 pressups :-)

20+15+11+10= one happy chap with a bloody sore wrist!

The last five were pretty horrific but tonight's power club comments got me fired up. Cheers lads.

[Sloper]

Beast, that sounds like a potentially life changing injury, just climbing again must feel superb let alone cranking anything hard and you can probably look forward to it only improving. (but keep eating plenty of meat, dairy and fresh fruit & veg as early onset osteoporosis is not exactly unknown with complex and multiple fractures)

[kelvin]

Cheers sloper - I was actually wheeled in and knocked out ready for amputation but then they realised I hadn't signed a release form! Ha.
I don't need no excuse to eat well ;-)

Blimey, how did you manage that if it's not rude to ask? Motorbike?
Good work on the press ups.
