Did anyone see you?

I took a video but will only release it upon my death, in order to prove the naysayers wrong and demonstrate a fundamental lesson in human trust and common goodwill.

The fundamental lesson was learned long ago, that's why he asked for proof

Was delighted to hear that YYFY thread starter Jim got back into the 7s at Caley over the weekend. Effort...

Hope you don't mind me putting this here Jim!

After a bloody awful year with health problems I thought that I would never boulder again. Went to the Lakes just after Easter and had a fantastic time at some fantastic venues that one year ago I couldn't imagine ever seeing again,Sampson's Stones,Cold Pike,Dunnerdale.Then back home to grow some skin and then over to Skye.More great weather and the completion of a project I couldn't do even before I was ill 
It would appear that there is life in the old dog yet.......Didn't think I would ever feel this happy again

Nice one sherlock. Been following the action on flickr. Good skills timing good form with the good weather

Had a handful of rope sessions in the last week on peak lime for the first time since my mishap on mecca extension and my confidence of being above the bolts is definitly coming back. Even took a wicked whipper on boot boys by the third clip and came close to the ground but was totally fine. Good for the confidence! Bring it on Mecca extension i will fucking crush you!

[masonwoods101]

Reckon you will skip that bolt on the extension again?

I'm staying in the Grampians for a couple of weeks, and today we went to Taipan Wall for the first time. Just incredible. I managed to scrabble my way up one of the routes on the main face (Invisible Fist, 7b+ ish), which was amazing. YYFY!

It was big, intimidating, and with some reasonable run-outs (by my poxy standards at least) so I was really happy with myself for giving it a proper go and committing properly on the run out sections. I took a whipper on the onsight, went draw to draw to the top, then sent it next go with a bit of a fight.

It's by no means the hardest route, but it feels like a return to form after several months off, and it was just an intensely enjoyable experience. Buzzing!

[SA Chris]

But they aren't getting worse either..........
 

Sound good to me!

Yea. It's to hard to clip on the link. Think I just got really unlucky tbh. What's that saying... lightning never strikes twice [emoji14]

YYFY!
My latest injury is (only) (another) gluteus strain and nothing more serious or spine related. Spent a few days quite worried, but most of the pain responding well to antiinflammatories was luckily a relief.
Yay.

Good news.

I thought I'd ruined my back last year after a heavy (for me ) squats session, which left me struggling to walk or function for several days due to back pain , but Mrs rodma knew it would just be my glutes (cos she had experienced the same phenomenon previously, but with heavier weights )

First outdoor session of the year, new prob sent by me, and one by mate. Good to be on rock.

[Palomides]

Yesssss!!!

Ticked off an old sport route project last night. I've only tried it on 5 climbing days, but the first of those was in 2007  Previous attempts in 2013 saw me rip off the end of a fingertip blasting off the crux!

Had a quick go on Tuesday night and found a new arrangement of fingers in some shallow dimples that makes the crux slabby moves to stab out left into a two-finger pocket considerably higher percentage. This was followed by a redpoint attempt when I got through the crux then fell off reaching for the big hold at the end of the hard bit of the overhanging headwall 

No mistakes last night, and only minor finger damage from determined finger torquing. It's F7c and only the 5th I've ever done. I'm really, really happy about this and I know that you guys understand. Time to try something a bit harder I think...
