[mr chaz]

Great stuff pal, bet that feels pretty good!

[Muenchener]

In two years? Well done. Impressed.

[PipeSmoke]

[a dense loner]

I hope it wasn't the crack or that thing at shaftoe or anything in Albaracin? If not nice one!

Triple threat YYFY for me..

This is all very irresponsible. The fact that PipeSmoke has only been climbing two years implies that he is a young person. Has anybody thought to check his age to ascertain whether it is appropriate to offer congratulations?
I for one can only shrug my shoulders until I see photographic ID.

Nice.

Reminded me of when I went for an interview in Manchester one morning in 1992. All went well. Had a few beers with the other consultants at lunchtime. Met up with a friend in the Peak in the afternoon. Redpointed Brachiation Dance and Indecent Exposure. Got offered the job the next day and was put on paid gardening leave (climbing leave) for a month.

[a dense loner]

But what was the 8a? 

[Doylo]

Don't tell him!

I'm remarkably unpleasant.

Will PM you closer to the time - would be good to climb with others if you don't mind.

[Three Nine]

Awesome, thanks!

Two pairs of Miura Laces for a hundred quid. One in my normal sport climbing size, one a bit bigger for alpine multipitch stuff.

(Not on the Cheap Shoes thread 'cos the shop where I get them doesn't have a website, strictly locals only   )

Be warned, due to his addiction to Pepsi Max you can't drive for more than an hour without a p*ss stop. That aside, I strongly suggest you go climbing with Three-Nine, he gives himself such a hard time you can't help but be amused AND, if you're really lucky he'll unload on some well intentioned bystander who tries to make small talk at the crag.

My particular favourites have been him telling someone bluntly that no he doesn't want them to try the same route and when someone asked if Subculture was his first 8a. 

Where've you gone Shrewpert?

Finally a YYFY that's not on a BM!!! But on plastic!!!
Yesterday I have a super session, climbed a problem that I'd been working for a couple of months, another one on which I could barely make the moves in isolation when I set it, and repeated another that I'd been attempting for a year!!!
The pros of having a full afternoon to dedicate to the session. Warm up, rest, have a go, rest, cure the skin, etc.
Mega chuffed.

Your dedication to short, intense, indoor hardocore "bouldering" is, as always, commendable. Chapeau

Today I spotted a notice board on the platform I'm working out out in Malaysia (well, the Borneo bit). It said:

Talisman Kinabalu Platform
Defective Notice Board

Where they record platform defects...   Made me laugh anyway.
