Repelled by rain; started drizzling just as I reached crag last night, so spent time platforming out landing and conceiving beta for a project I'd previously dismissed as being too dangerous. Now just need 2 plus spotters (one harnessed in), 3 big pads and some good connies, and a hearty cup of MTFU.

This is one of the nicest bits of rock I've found on the Aberdeen Coast. A band of granite (? tbc) with an almost desert patina like surface. Only took mincing along the edge of a gorse field and climbing down a fisherman's rope to get there!

I can do 1-4-7, does this mean I should jump on the Mandala now?  :lol:

I can do 1-5-8 with 23 cm spaced rungs. Can I take the tick for New Base Line then?

As an indicator of just how irrelevant this stuff is (or just how shit I am at bouldering):

I can do 1-4-7 on 18mm edges spaced at 22cm......

....but I only climb 7B absolute max.

Only if someone who has done NBL does the same as you. Sorry, but that's the rules.

Why not just go crush it instead :shrug:

You're just over-achieving at training. 

I agree it means F%^& all to showing how hard you can climb, but it can show relative weaknesses which is why I'm training them.  Of all of the training/technique/strength stuff, Raw pull strength is my weakness, so campusing and 1-armers.

 :off: I'm not sure I should notice these things, but your 147th post was about 1-4-7. That shit turns me on.

Can't do 1-4-7 or a 1 armer at the moment but still scraping up stuff outside. Might have to do some training to catch up with you Lore, while the midges are out in force!  :whip:

About 200 people came to my film premiere last night and, to put it mildly, their response exceeded my expectations!

Absolutely buzzing still.

Nice one Cheque.  Congratulations. It looks great.

I just had lunch in my local and Scott Walker was sat a couple of seats away with his cap on having a quiet pint with a friend.   SCOTT WALKER! :wub:  8)

Sorry, I've no idea who Scott Walker is  :-[

Anyways Cheque - nice to hear you had a big turn out. A brilliant end to what's be a long story followed via power club. Well chuffed for ya.
