I think you'll find The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine to be more topical round these parts.

Well done Mr Cheque.

Good job on the edit Mike, must have been a massive undertaking.

I was there enjoying the show last night. Oh and well done on the opening talk. Speaking in front of so many people would have terrified me.

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.

Another 15 minutes platforming, one pad, no spotters and in spite of humid conditions and midges, MTFUed and job done!

I did a quick google and some politician from the States was all I saw... now it makes sense.

Mixed feelings about this, disappointed the lower section was easier than I expected, but glad the top is fairly easy, as if I fell after the top good hold I doubt I would walk away. Quality climbing, but I would have thought only 6A/B.

Yeah, it's a beautiful spot. Waterfall just round to left that goes into the sea at high tide.

Arab Spring. I need to do a small topo for the area once I do the last project. There's now a string of spots along that part of the coast that would form a good circuit, enough for a day, and amazing variety. This is about 5 min walk from the spot I showed andy e last time he was up.

1 x V6 and 2 x V7s today. :)

Jetski Jerks, Stringybark Massacre and Love Gun Stand at Alford's Point. Not a bad day, considering I hadn't eaten all day because I'm getting sick!
Had a session on them all back in summer and didn't feel close to any of them...
Please to finish them off.

Last hard move of Stringybark, just the scary top to go:

I've been to my youngest daughter's school fete today. I purchased 2 tickets for the raffle, turns out over 400 were sold. For the first time in my life, one of my tickets was lucky enough to be pulled out the bag. I was speechless! Turns out, I won a £10 gift voucher for a ladies hair salon in town, but the details aren't important. What is important is my raffle curse has been lifted.

Small victories.

Up in Val Di Mello with the lass and did some bouldeing this afternoon while she lazed in the hammock crocheting...  No guidebook so just pottered around near remenno (had already done some routes in the morning including the great fun 6c flake crack on the NE face) flashed a few things and then tried this nice highball ish line. Two small crimps, left foot, rock over and stretch to a high gaston - big flakes to traverse  off left. Quite surprised to get it second go.  Now reading the guide in the bar I have found it was the classic Goldrake 6c - chuffed,  the injuries are finally subsiding....  That goes well with my Killer Green belgian IPA!

similar scene here - we won a week's family pass for the higher class Virgin Gym just down the road

squeezed in 4 swims with the kids

getting a few marketing calls and texts now though

phoned them myself this morning in a preemptive strike, saying I'd be busy later so would they like to ask me about my thoughts about joining now. much amusement and an offer to remove my number from their list of potential targets

Higher class? That's worse lagers and well they know it. Trying to say it's higher class cos it's smaller indeed! That's like saying Stu Littledavies is a Royal and Barrows is working class!

Did my first V11 yesterday!
Went to do routes on Portland with the girlfriend...did about 6 up to 6b, then I fancied getting on My Chemical Romance again and linking it into a route...went 5th go (8/9th in total) and then topped the route above it as well.

Think it's a soft one, but harder than the V10s I've done, but still pretty psyched!

Nice one Robsons.

A non climbing YYFY - but last week we discovered that a new journal that I largely led in getting set up and have managed for the last 2 years, has been indexed by Thomson Rueters only 20 months after our first paper came out. A big step - meaning we've arrived :)

It does have a quiet, subtly lit atmosphere of "I don't need to ask the price" though. I appreciate the necessity of saying something though; just to make sure we all know that you know your way round Sheffield gyms and that you know Ru, Stu and Barrows.
