Congrats!!

Second ascent is up for grabs... 

[lagerstarfish]

is a 2nd ascent still significant?

[DAVETHOMAS90]

Great effort Lore! 

It's the investment that takes the courage. Your number came up, so milk it 

Those crimps look dispiriting. Cool looking problem though. Go and celebrate with some new machined billet for the bike perhaps 

[Muenchener]

Looks cool, well done

I had a nice retro YYFY moment on Saturday (and repeated on Sunday)

I started climbing in Ilkley quarry 30 years ago and after I bought some boots I used to go up after school whenever skin and weather allowed (and sometimes even if they didn't)

there was a big traverse that I was really chuffed to finally manage and it then became a part of my routine

I did it in reasonable style at the weekend having not done the whole thing for quite a few years - it was really nice doing moves that I remember having to work initially as a kid and which then became my daily "escape"

traverse from the start of S Crack to the bottom of Fairy Steps (feet on the ledge, not hands), then onto the twin cracks and the start of Little John to the ledge of Short Circuit, reverse the start of Short Circuit until feet are on the first foot ledge, traverse right all the way across Waterloo start to the first ledge on Earwig Rib, right and down to continue low to Botterill's Crack, layback up this for a couple of meters and go right to the bottom of the flake of Flake Crack and then layback to the top of the horribly polished Flake Crack

nothing harder than Font 6A, but I remember when I couldn't climb any of the sections, let alone link them all up - and then there was the little foot moves that my body remembered even if I didn't

it was cool

Is Jury Duty a YYFY or a NNFN? Beats being in the office I suppose and I only need to turn up at 9:45.

It can be interesting or very boring. Can be quite nasty/difficult too...

Had a friend who ended up in a 3 week one, split jury etc... by his account the perp was guilty as, just bell ends in the jury..

[SA Chris]

It's sheriff court, not high. Hope it doesn't run to 3 weeks, will be on holiday

That's great.

Coincidentally I read it just after this piece by Peter Bradshaw which covers some of the same ground.

Surely a planned holiday is just cause for a dismissal no?

[SA Chris]

I've got off twice using that. I think they say you won't be there longer than a week in sheriff court.

Top level quoting there...

Luckily I'm used to your odd Caledonian ways.
