Had a good few weeks.
First time in Font (! I know). Just went for things either flash or quick sends: highlight was Onde De Choc for the best problem!- Jacky Godoffe amazingness, but 15 7s ticked overall in the week.
Then, hit the Peak on Sunday and did some quality problems I'd not done before - Deliverance (happy to do this), but up there with this was Help the young Stand - super cool bloc - highball and awesome - had failed on both of these in the past - not super hard, but super fun!
Off to Font on the 27th - cannee wait!

That's a great day by anyone's measure, Help the Young really is class.

Finished off an old highball project I found nearly 2 years ago.
Jumped back on rope to clean it and did all the moves. Didn't have pads with me but thought, fuck it, I'm pretty secure on it. Went first go. Did it again straight after. 8m right on the money.

And another  from me. That is commitment!

Although with the help of antihydral, coffee, chocolate, protein shakes, amino-acid tablets, croissants, six pads and two spotters for a 1 meter high problem, it seems that I'm still able to climb on (a very limited number and hyper specific problems on) rock.

How many croissants?

[Nibile]

As many as they brought at the hotel's breakfast buffet.
I am disgusted by myself.
Last year I've found the restaurant in which they make biggest portions of pasta I've ever had. Ristorante Leventina in Bodio, the village down the road from Chironico.
Amazing. Enough to drop a full grade with every dinner.

Certainly deserves you being committed...

8mtrs, no pads. Nuts!

..six pads and two spotters for a 1 meter high problem..

That felt like par for the course for Cresciano / Chironico. I was lucky enough to be on my own, with one small Black Diamond pad.

Ahahahahahahha I was meaning that nowadays I need all those pads even for lowballs! I keep getting wussier and wussier.
But I also had a very minimalist day with just three pads! Only because my friends had left.

I definitely would have enjoyed it more with more pads. The landings can be awful and I'm also a wuss.

Next time!

First crimp session of the year, added two kilos to my routine! Went from 3 to 6 kilos since June.
Who needs rock?
YYFY.

Non training related YYFY, after months of researching and rethinking, I managed to get a new full face helmet! Five stars Sharp rating, all green values, bargain price!
Nitro Aikido, in Kenshi graphic.
UK made if you please.

Non-climbing related YYFY... just paid off my mortgage.  Currently resisting the urge to swearily walk out of work; admittedly this would be more of temptation if it was summer and Kilnsey was dry.  The resolution I made this morning not to drink mid-week could be short lived even by my weak-willed standards.....

Congratulations. A landmark day for sure. Enjoy pointing and things and saying 'i own that!'

[moose]

cheers, though it is a reminder of the vast number of minor "handyman" style tasks there are that need doing and I have let slide for months.

[sherlock]

Must be something in the air,we paid ours off last week as well

[SA Chris]

<<Peers into the distant future>>

Nope, don't see it for a while.

Anyway, well done guys. 1.5 years until no nursery fees, might be able to start working away at ours. Assuming we both still have jobs.

I never had Moose down as a money grabbing c**t?

[galpinos]

...... just paid off my mortgage......

Well done that man. I appear to be following a tactic of inflating it away, not actually paying it off. Depressing.
