Finally... I've had confirmation that my long awaited knee operation to hopefully repair my torn meniscus will be on the 19th April [emoji106]

It's definitely a YYFY, I've sold my house and am moving to the the Pyrenees, Ariege next week! As well as tying in to a rope again, I hope to discover lots of undeveloped bouldering. A couple of reccy visits suggest this might not be too hard  :)

Solid YYFY there. I'm sure UKBers will be knocking on the door soon.

Don't think I've ever YYFY'd but thought I'd indulge myself - after not being able to pull hard on anything for 6 months following straining my bicep longhead tendon last August, things have knitted back together and I just sent Rock Atrocity last night.  :weakbench:

Effort pal! Knew you'd path it. I'm more surprised by the fact you made a bouldering video!!

Opium in Font (such a great line)- don't think any others like it are coming any time soon- my finger strength is way under par :\

Fuck no, that'd be the work of the Devil. Next you'll be telling me that a reality TV show host could become president of the USA...
