Thanks Guy. Thanks for filming the end, wouldn't mind that footage for sentimental reasons if you could send it to me somehow or just upload to facebook, of whatever.

Keen to tick some of the easier stuff off at the cornice now!

Those there at the time will be glad to know that Nancy Jones who was airlifted off Pabbay was back on the sharp end today albeit on Cornwall`s friendliest little cliff with her Dad and a yet more elderly chum.

Brilliant - that's well good to hear! I'll pass the news on to those who don't UKB.  :great:

A non-bouldering YYFY but the project 8a before 30 is done (ukb powerclub and cornice regulars will be aware)!

Good effort. It's great to see a big goal like this get ticked.

damn.....I only started doing routes in earnest (i.e. trying stuff I wasn't odds-on to on-sight) when I was 35..... what might have been...... (probably bugger-all improvement really - I suspect my limits are more to do with other demands on my time, mental weakness, and intrinsic physical fragility).

After a bollox spring trad climbing badly, to the extent that even mild-mannered cuddly bear Lagers posted that I need to man up, I've finally had the best few days climbing in a long time:

Slate:
Long Distance Runners E3 5c
Tentative Decisions E5 6a **
Short Stories E4 6a ***
Watch Me Wallaby Wank, Frank E4 6a **

Scimitar Ridge:
Chreon E2 5b **
The Roc-Ness Monster E4 6a **
Killerkranky E5 6a ***

Cwm Glas Bach:
Stanage Comes To Llanberis E2 5c *
El Guide Direct E3 5c *
Rimsky Korsakov E5 6a ***

Rhoscolyn:
Mask Of Red Death E3 5c **
Warpath E5 6a ***

Hardest: Warpath, Tentative, Rocness
Most enjoyable: Killerkranky, Rimsky, Red Death
Happy to take lower grades on: most of them.

Good effort Fiend. Even if it is that nasty rope wearing gear jangling trad stuff (bleurgh...)

 :dance1: The lass just got offered a job at Napier Uni - her ideal job for now. She was so disappointed at 17:30 when she had not yet got a call either way (they had said they'd contact by end of play today at the latest, the interview was Friday last week) but her new boss called 15 minutes ago and she's still on the phone now.

YYFY! 

Our relocation to Scotland has been stressful, but now it's all sorted, flat, job, uni course. Sweet!

Finished building a new training wall today, a month after the old one getting shut down. I vowed I wouldn't build another, this is the 8th. But feels good to have my own training facility again. This coupled with getting a new van offsets all the other NNFN's that seem to have beset me recently. :(

Have u just built a new frame and kept the old boards Andy? Or moved the lot, or started from scratch each time?

Just climbed my first f7C whilst warming up for my 7C+ project, and it turns out it was probably soft 7C+ in itself! I feel strong this summer...

Did The Long Run at North Stack today - one of the best climbing experiences of my life. Not the hardest route I've done recently, but it was everything I hoped it would be, utterly engrossing and thrilling :)
