4:30:27 chip time for Loch Ness Etape. 105 km, 1070 m ascent. Actually didn't find it too hard, riding in groups on closed roads is so much easier than my usual solo rides. Thinking about Etape Caledonia now.

TobyD woke up from his (hopefully) final head operation in Plymouth earlier and is well enough to post on Facebook.
Possibly time to switch from TobyD to TitaniumToby?

In a climbing career constantly marred by inadequacy, sub-par performance, and a crushing and pervasive weight of Punterdom, it is important to let those little rays of light in whenever you have cause to feel a bit of pride. In this vein I'd like to take the time now to share some of the comments that people have made about that problem what I did the FA of at Yeadon Crag:

"The Cestrian is one of the very best" - Footwork Finley

"Excellent" - Dave Warburton

"I thought Cestrian was a contender for the best 7a in Yorkshire. Total class" - Will Buck

"gave up after a few goes" - Mark Rankine

I can't believe you overlooked this one:

"a bit shit" - 36chambers (after flashing it)

Just got back from my first trip to font, where I almost found myself flashing Alta - 7C, bloody foot slip gaining the lip! In the end it took me a few attempts. The psyche is high at the moment and I feel like all this training is finally paying dividends  :dance1:

I know! I was too happy and surprised for profanity. It's more frustration sends where profanity comes out for me  ;)

Dave doesn't allow swearing in his videos that's why he mutes most of them.  ;)

That's the problem I have, but as I climb a lot with Three Nine and there is no hope of rehabilitating him into polite society I think my dreams of being a sponsored hero will have to go on hold. Only for that reason mind.

After some research and email exchange with a local, I found out that a problem that I climbed back in 2010 at Città dei Sassi, in the Dolomites, wasn't a repeat but in fact a first ascent.
So now it's going in the guidebook!
I've opened many problems, but having a beautiful line in a majestic setting feels special.
