I've not done NW Overhang Sit, but I have done the stand. Having seen Mike's vid, I don't think I recognise his beta for when he gets into the stand. I'm sure I had my feet higher than that and then had to drop a foot down once I had got the handholds? Mike keeps his feet really low. Might not be so soft for shorter people?

Mike put it up on Facebook. Not sure if you'll be able to see it unless you're mates with him or Andy.

Yesterday, I don't how, I managed to resist the urge to put my brand new Lattice Edge to test and in a massive clash of power, coincidence and determination I fucking climbed my fucking board project.
Four fucking years and more. Seems unreal. This season I've been trying it since mid December. Just this fucking beauty.
Felt so fucking easy dammit, I didn't even celebrate as usual. I only ran around the house jumping with arms to the sky.

Give it time, I hear Nibs is busy recording dice shots and card throwing sequences against a moody black background.

Seriously though...please say there is footage!

You crack me up guys!  ;D
No send footage unfortunately, to be honest I wasn't expecting to climb it! Felt a bit empty after the warm up!
It's only two more moves after the video I posted a few days ago.
Anyway I'll try to repeat it. Or maybe not. Buy I'll film it, after four years  it deserves some more effort I guess.
I called it Spanish Bombs after the Clash's song.

Just did a 142kg pull up and 3x3 ring press ups @ 142kg. And 3x3 140kg deadlifts (and they were easy, need to buy more plates).

Had my most successful day bouldering ever at the Roaches today, including what's possibly my first 7a since 2013. :D

Redpointed my first 7b today, on a day when I debated whether it was worth bothering to go out at all because the last week has been so cold & grey.

Boulder problem start, half a dozen steep powerful moves on small pockets to a jug at the second bolt then the rest is about easy 6b. But whatever; you have to start somewhere.

Not a big number YYFY but had a fantastic morning pottering at Stanage on Saturday. Work, life, illness, kids etc have lead to only getting outside twice in the past 12 months so a morning's soloing on the lovely classics of the Popular end in the sunshine with the clanging of hex bells in the background and the distant calls of, "climb when ready" and "watch me!" were just the ticket to get the psyche flowing......
