Longstanding proj and hardest lime up problem to date.

 Ben, my eldest, got it too with a scary high heel.

Thanks chaps. Getting worryingly hooked on bouldering at the moment. Oak may have to wait till next spring

good to hear that Ben is going well

He's getting a bit keener for outside but the Works comes first

But......wait.......The Oak?.....what?.....wait...you've been trying now.....for years.......and.....years...........hang on..... oh never mind.

Apparently the odds of Shark doing the Oak in 2017 have been slashed from 50:1 to 49:1

Nice one Shark. Hard 7A+ has gotta mean you'll be crushing F8as or 8a+s in no time

That's faster than my 100m sprint pace!

Aberdeen Great Run. First one here. Course was OK, mostly flat, all hills short and sharp. Final stretch was down Union Street past my office on way to train station, so I was on home ground, having run it many times to avoid missing trains! Weather was a bit warmer than  I would have liked, but not complaining.

Hi folks. Nice effort there Simon on JR  . I'd be super keen to get down there for a session any time you're keen. And you, Mr Jonathan R. Moffatrocity next?  Chris, nice work on the half marathon    Must have felt great, given your target time, and knowing the run-in must have really helped. I'd love to work out how to get the old running/climbing balance sorted.. I know, don't go running. As a P.S. I managed my first weighted muscle-ups the other day (+5kg). 

[Mark Lloyd]

Nice one Simon, did you top it out?

No he stepped off onto his step ladder

I'd love to work out how to get the old running/climbing balance sorted.

I've sacked off climbing until after Ring of Steall Race 16th Sept. Can't really do both with full time job, partner with full time job and in training too and 2 kids.

Bet he didn't forget his nut key tho Lloydy

Cheers Matt

Its generally considered 7B. Tomtom reckons it could rate 7B+ at other more forgiving venues.

8a's or 8a+'s aren't really on my radar at the moment. Think Id rather just go bouldering and push myself there at the moment.

Well done Simon. Do more of this sort of thing.

My shoulder has been up and down - as has my mood - but this morning I detected a distinct flicker of activity in the Deltoid. I'd thought the numbness might have been improving the last few days but that's so subjective. Signs the Axillary nerve is coming back to life. YYFY!

First 100+ mile road ride yesterday at 105 miles with Mr Tonks (climber turned racer), great day for it. Previously my longest was 65 miles with plenty of stops so was quite a challenge, kept up a good pace (mainly due to drafting Aaron) at 16.7mph. Well chuffed, legs are sore today though!

[SA Chris]

Great stuff, time for an Etape / Sportive
