Where did you go, Rubicon? 

[lagerstarfish]

nothing so glamorous

had to go to separate venues

[Nibile]

Elbows are getting better!
Finally isolated the specific move to avoid, that always causes some pain.
Plus, I added 1 kg to my system sessions and weighted bouldering.
Now, after weeks of little training and injuries, it's time to get consistent again.

6 second front lever.

[JackAus]

First one, then the other.....

Cheers!

Mine too. Against my better judgement I went for a sports massage on Friday and he said the muscles in my forearms were "stupidly tight" and really went to work on them. Fuck me the pain! Now though, furst ime elbows have no painful sensations in them since about August.

[lagerstarfish]

I have heard it said that the best cure for wanker's cramp is to visit a massage expert

[SA Chris]

He certainly rubbed one out.

[SA Chris]

He also reckoned that me mountain biking instead of climbing while injured was probably doing my elbows more harm than the climbing would.

Just a little update...
Super motivating lunchtime session! Had to check the training diary to be sure I was using the right weight and not less! Felt very, very strong despite not training fingers specifically for five weeks... It's time to raise the bar with another kg.
Clearly I've been doing some good setting on my board!
... and some time off probably wasn't bad either.
It's a shame I love training so much.

Went to Anston Stones for the first time and loved it, someone said it'd be my style and they weren't half right! Flashed a 6b and 2x 6c's then managed my first ever 7a+ and rounded off the day with another 7a. Might be time to find a hard local project for the summer I reckon, Forest Rock is calling!

It's more a blessing than a curse I reckon, especially when its pissing it down like it currently is by me!

[fatneck]

managed to overcome an ongoing motivation problem and went bouldering AND fishing AND caught fish before work this morning

fucking yes!

pics/vid to follow as proof, obviously

Effort beast...

Hope your first 7a+ wasn't that 6c to the right of bullet denbob

After 18 months of failures, I've finally managed to make a print wirelessly over our office network.

Had a play on Blue Circles there the other week, blatantly not 7A.

but anyway denbobs - loved the place myself and keen to get back there soon. My sort of climbing.

[Pako]

Feel like a dream, just did a one armer for the first time... Then I felt good so I tried again and did 2. How is it that something which felt so hard for the past year and a half now feels so easy. Truly the end of an era.

Bollocks. Not possible, no vid no tick.

[Johnny Brown]

Don't worry it's not fucking working today.             

[Fiend]

LOL. The wireless printer siege. This could be good. 

[Nibile]

With 10 days of rain ahead, yesterday I took the afternoon off and went climbing!
Manged a little project that I had briefly tried some 10 years ago and found the umpteenth link up that after my usual "I'm doing it first go" required the whole afternoon just to manage the moves in isolation...
Going back today!
Brilliant.

Everywhere in the Alps & Points South, but further north looks better per current forecast. Just got an SMS from a mate volunteering for Frankenjura at the weekend.

a pebble must have fallen off; rendering his previous sequence impossible

he could do it fine before that
