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...

YYFY. Managed to claw my way up tetris yesterday.

Really pleased with this after lots of ill health recently, and having considerably less time to climb/train due to work and child than when I previously climbed this grade. It is probably the best problem I have ever done and I'm now excited to keep trying hard whenever I get chance.

Was really chuffed to get Insatiable done at Cheddar this morning, managed to nip out for a few hours and along with a retro flash of a 7a+ (never onsighted or flashed harder than 7a in the past) did my first 7b+. What a beauty.
Came home and then went out to the market, shopping etc with the family. I keep having to remind myself it happened as I keep forgetting!!

Nice one, I really like insatiable, not over until the top! The flash wasn't Islands in the city was it? It's the only of the grade that I've ever flashed, which makes me suspicious of the grade as I'm a terrible route climber. Although it is short...

Was Cheddar looking dry in general? Heading there tomorrow. Cheers.
