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

Nice one Simon, did you top it out?

[Nibile]

Nice one Shark!
Stick at it.

Got Jericho road today 

Nice one geez.

Longstanding proj and hardest lime up problem to date.

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

First half marathon since 1987, 1:48:22, 2 hours was goal.

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).

Nice one Simon, did you top it out?

No he stepped off onto his step ladder

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.

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

Well done Shark! Sounds like you're inadvertently taking daves advice...
And nice one Chris, pretty much exactly my time when I aimed for two hours!

Last night I had my first session on the 45 degree wall I've been building in the garden over the summer. I'm really pleased with it. Incredibly psyched now for more sessions.

Same big match temperament! although i have a very black big toenail from going hell for leather in the final stretch and all technique going out the window.

As a P.S. I managed my first weighted muscle-ups the other day (+5kg). 

That's pretty good. I do three sets of three with a 4kg belt and it hurts! The difference over body weight muscle ups is a shock, when you first try.

Hey, thanks Matt  Sets at 3 x +4kg sounds pretty bloody good!  Yes, it seems really significant how much more explosive they are. I've been trying to get the static muscle up (false grip), so work the negatives a plenty, high locks, "press-outs" etc. I love it. V close to the static. Top exercise for climbing too. Hope you get back on those routes at Ansteys
