I just hope the aircrew didn't look at the pictures...

just got accepted to study for a PhD, finally I can actually say that I am right where I want to be!

PhD climbing bums = 2010s equivalent of the "dole climbers".  Nice one  - there's a remote possibility that I might consider doing the same next year. (basically if I don't get a decent job after this MSc)

Just finished a week of training to set french régional competitions. A very competent coach, interesting things learns about the subtleties of comp rules, lots of fun setting and tweaking routes and boulders for radically different climbers, including elite 9 year olds and leg amputees...

At the end of it, the setting coach complimented me, said he's sorry that I had to waste my time on this, and strongly suggested I hurry up with the cursus needed to get the national-level qualification!

Is there an impact driver emoticon?

Which walls do you set at Ghisino? I'm sure I'd recognise you by sight.

Got to set a 3.5 week out of office yesterday. Currently enroute to Lleida and Mallorca.

YYFY!!

Cheers weirdly I did actually get a half decent job after my MSc (and in the area which I studied too) but working in industry is just not where I want to be, there is no time allocated for pensive beard scratching and too many time sheets for my liking.

Part of why I would like to start something myself - then I can make my own rules!

MurMur, mainly Pantin (routes and boulders).

if you want to know which routes i set (so you can complain that they are bouldery/morpho/too crispy/too slopey/etc), look for those whose setter's first name starts with g 

if you want to complain directly with me and other setters, setting days are mondays and thursday (mornings)

First day outside bouldering for 2016 - 1 new problem (to me) and two stellar FA's and a couple of projects to go back to...

I haven't been to Murmur in years, I though you might do some of the Arkose setting.

Day ski touring in Cairgorms;

Coire Raibert
Y Gully
Castlegates Gully
Side Gully (not real name but small one skiers left of Pinnacle, which had no entry point due to weird snow formations at the top)
Lurcher's Gully to finish and skied back to Car Park to finish at about 7pm, just as darkness fell.

Utterly broken today, but an amazing day out. After a claggy start amazing conditions in Loch Avon Basin

So f**king jealous.......

Mate, I thought of you when we did Castlegates. Shame we didn't get Pinnacle done, but entry was not feasible. New skis are great too.

Some pics. Still buzzing. Thighs still feel beaten though, mean to do a bouldering comp tonight!

[Muenchener]

In Frankenjura, too cold for routes so bouldering. Did my first real 6C+ 

Celebrated in proper Frankenjura style with coffee & cake in Obertrubach.

Espresso? Cappuccino? And what kind of cake?

Rhabarber mit Sahne, and very fine it was too. Sadly the concept of decent coffee hasn't made it into the rural backwoods of Central Europe yet. You have to go to the Big City for that - there's a superb roastery in Nuremberg.

When's the housewarming? I've got some great red wine to spill on the carpet...

Firs after work session of the year. Minty conditions on coast. First crux of project felt piss, second one still feels hard, but might have gone if darkness hadn't won.
