ooohh.. look at me.. scared shitless I would need open shoulder surgery... seen the consultant surgeon today.. tells me probs not needed: my physio appt  for treatment is next weds. High pressure - I usually wait till now in the year  to fulfil the annual  *you can only call yrself a boulderer if u climb a new 7a every year* pre physio appt also done today.. they say.. 6 weeks and you will be rite. soooo relieved! I want my shoulder back!!

[mrjonathanr]

Nice one fatdoc....will see you out there

Elbows permitting, of course.

So after six months of hardly any climbing, the physio has finally got my shoulders and spine stable enough to do some hanging, Get the f**k in!

Not too sure about the strength of the steel that's hanging on but it'll do for now

I appreciate this isn't my own personal channel, but....

Biggest tick of the week for me today, longstanding nemesis got taken down.

So happy. Wanted to share the psyche. This has been my best ever week of climbing no doubt. Six 7As ticked, 5 on my new love The Lime (would have been more but for bad/incorrect descriptions in the BMC guide).

But can't let that distract from the fantastic feelings. Grit, Lime, it's all in condition guys - get yourselves stuck in

Went for a late night run.. Just a couple of easy miles around the block.

Found £30

Just found out that I got paid for some climbing classes I taught... Here they come my new radiator, CNC machined top steering plate and some other tweaks!
Grinning like a mofo.

Nice one. Sidetrack is grim in summer! good effort.

Thanks tomtom, and for the wad points chaps, to be quite honest the friction felt fine. Tricky but for me at 5'7" was realizing I couldn't do it the way I'd seen others do it - so had to do an extra LH movement before reaching the good RH hold. Am sure I will be lapping it soon, that's how it goes, right? Yesterday's project is tomorrow's warm up 

[James Malloch]

Morrell's Wall - after many failed tries, a change of beta (thanks Ollie) made it seem so easy...

[SA Chris]

Good tick, classic problem. I think the first thing I ever saw someone at Almscliff do

Cheers - whilst I haven't tried it that much, it's been a proper nemesis. Felt nails compared to everything else I'd done there.
New beta was missing out the shitty crimp completely and rolling over to the better ones higher up. Not quite the proper way but it'll do.

The traverse into it is a lot easier than the problem itself too...

[SA Chris]

Yeah, I either used that as briefly before going again, or skipped completely.

[andy_e]

The shitty crimp was a lot better until a year or two ago...

[SA Chris]

Really? Wear or snap?

Really? secret of MW is right foot placement on the crozzly sticky out jug... there's one sweet spot where it's allllll so easy...

[andy_e]

I think something broke off it, probably some shoddy footwork whilst topping out.

[James Malloch]

Yes I thought it looked like something has crumbled off at some point...

Nae floppy plopping. On wet rock after steel brushing and donkey marking.

First 7A+ on Sunday, and also the first time I've done two 7's in a day 
So genuinely exited for this winter. Bloody love this climbing lark 

[JackAus]

Off to Castle Hill first thing tomorrow morning!
3 weeks there!!!

After a Summer of work and study, with a grand total of two days off, yesterday I regained control. 300 kms of turns!
