Yaar, but is it proper grit, Englisher?

It claims to be grit. And certainly has some grit like qualities. Anyway, Tx2 tells me that "grit" is a meaningful term in a geological sense.

But is it  true grit? That's some bold talk...

How you feeling JB? Heard him whispering in your sleep? All the fancy weather analysis we have at work seems to be saying it's looking pretty sweet this weekend...

Calm down folks - it's now November which means it'll now rain most of the time, especially weekends, until Christmas. See you in 2017.

It's this time of year where I see my biggest improvements! Because I spend most of my time climbing indoors.

So... I nearly caught him last week, but he gave me the slip. Leaving me sweating.

Today he was waiting. The quail-headed crow did call, and the deed was done. It's all downhill from now on. Enjoy!

I only bought a bouldering license for this season - does that cover me for soloing routes as long as I'm only doing them as warm-ups?
