Just shelled out for a posh travel trailer.  Possibly vacation/work/second home/climbing vacation tool.....  Excited by the possibilities.

You forgot the steak to go along with the broccoli, but apart from that, mega YYFY!
Congrats!


Cheers  ;D

Second climbing YYFY of the year! Got my first F7c yesterday breaking a 4 year plateau at F7b.

I don't think I am massively stronger or fitter this year, and I haven't been climbing more. I think I have been training more consistently, and getting injured a bit less. Hopefully the progress train is rolling!

Just came back from three amazing days bouldering in the Dolomites.
Perfect conditions with clear blue skies, sun and wind. Just perfect.
Climbed a dozen or so problems in a sector that I'd never visited before, and finished off a project from last year, the problem on which Fultonius heard my power screams. This time it went down Stealth style. 13 months of training have paid off.
Brilliant.

I haven't had call to post on this thread but I went up to Barden Fell today and it was stunning. Every time i go up there I feel like a millionaire. It's just stunning. The quality of grit, the crisp clarity of the air, the rolling peat stretching away into the distance.

Superb day on Saturday. Headed to the moor, finally put to bed Dancing Queen (my first 7B!!) then headed over to Easdon Rocks and finished off the Arete
Weather was gorgeous

Then went to Ottery in the evening for Tar Barrels and many beers. Ace day

Just leave that there. If you're over 40, you'll understand.

What, you still think you're young enough to get away with wearing Prana??

You know Prana jeans contain lycra?

What can I say? I'm a child of the '80s but they won't let me wear my old tights or even my Ron Hills as anything other than underwear. I need some sneaky Lycra in my life...

I have some 32" Prana jeans and they are bigger at the waist than all my 34 " suit trousers.




Before you ask 34's come as standard with a 40" jacket.

Learnt how to do some basic plumbing and put in new pipework to install a washing machine last week. After 4 months of washing clothes at friends' houses and dragging the lifetime of things out way beyond what's acceptable - it's an amazing feeling.

In addition I got a certificate through today saying I'm officially Chartered. 2 years of exam hell has paid off.

Could you pass on some tips to Liz and Phil? Save us all, I don't know, £360M or so?

Just a minor one: Had my first day out climbing on real rock in 13 months and did Gorilla Warfare and Bad Lip at Curbar, so I haven't become entirely useless! YYFY!
