Oh deary, deary me.  I'm going to the alps tomorrow for a spot of the old bouldering, and I guess you'll all be hanging around waiting for the rain to stop.

Well, I'll send you all a postcard!

Have a good time Tim - I'd avoid the Matterhorn at the moment  :wink:

Anyway, I'm going to Font next week to sweat off some 4 plusses or something...

And Font 5+ = Random grade between 5c and 7a, and usually involving some fiendishly technical and obscure trick in order to succeed.

i think that the incentive to climb font 7a and higher, only then do the grades make sense to us brits!
