Bloody hell, just had a six volume (edited) book proposal accepted! Great, but also somewhat terrifying.

There goes the next two years! But well done!!

Good work fella. No shirking though, it'll need the nuclear approach: cork-line the bedroom, sleep during the day, write all night, avoid being side-lined by infections by never emerging out from under a giant fur coat!

Nice one Mike and Andy!!!

I scarcely dare ask but what's the working title?

Sweet. Did my 2nd V7 today. Hadn't tried it in a couple of months and did it 2nd go today.

nice jack

andy popp · April 03, 2015, 03:01:55 pm

You're right Tom, that's the next two-three years totally buggered. And its even worse, I'm expecting the verdict on a second book proposal any day. Moose, I've already taken to writing in bed, so I'm half way there.

Andy, congratulations!

Sounds like really fascinating subject matter. You seem to have worked so steadfastly, to get where you are. Brilliant.

andy popp · April 03, 2015, 05:01:50 pm

Update: second book proposal just accepted.

andy_e · April 03, 2015, 05:05:28 pm

I look forward to reading that.

Ahah great Andy! On a roll! Get on your climbing projects then!

andy popp · April 03, 2015, 06:10:09 pm

Funnily enough, I have two good new projects almost ready to start trying.

Nice one Andy! That's gotta feel good

Just finished one of the coolest board session ever.
With that unique sensation of being the same mofos despite the time and some quite important changes in life.
Brilliant even though I'll ache tomorrow...

First 1 and a halve rep right arm/ 1 rep left arm one armer. Did it 2 days ago, but I was drunk at the time. Tried it again today not being in a dream, and it turned out to be a too good dream. Did 1.75right/1.25left rep! Don't know how I did it though. Did not build up to it (no negatives or assisted ones for training). Noticed though that usual and weighted 2arms went so smooth and got some remarks last friday in the climbing gym that my back looked good. Still an injury thoudgh: it's not the deltoid left, but the rotator cuff. That sucks. But at least I can work on my right one armer!

JackAus · April 09, 2015, 01:07:55 pm

Ticked my slab project today. 6m insecure slab over a shit landing.

Had 2 sessions on rope cleaning it and working a sequence. Only did it once clean on rope a couple weeks ago. Went back today with a few pad and a decent spotter and did it first go. Celebrated by going and flashing 4 more scary probs up to V5 from my winter tick list. 5 down, 5 to go (all the harder scarier ones...)

Thats all my power club STGs in the last 2 weeks done.

Chuffed to bits. After 3 nights camping up at the base of the Dru, nipping up and down the dru couloir direct, a quick pint in Elevation I went bouldering with some friends and my girlfriend and she managed her first F5 boulder and I got a 6C and 6C+ in short time while drinking cheap fizzy french wine to celebrate her passing her C2 English exam (she's Dutch).

fried · April 11, 2015, 01:16:59 pm

C2 English, that's better than I speak!

Completely by accident I discovered that the second half of Bart van Raaij's 5+6 guide has been released this month, rushed down to Vieux connard and snapped one up. 2 years I've been waiting for this moment.

Fultonius · April 11, 2015, 01:45:36 pm

Somehow I had never noticed that the 5+6 author was Dutch. Need to get back to Font soon. And learn Dutch. Not C2 though. Never in a million years.
