W: still a little ill, but ventured to Craig Peniel, managed to do the Inkerman, inspired by Fiends video and it was pretty brilliant I'm not gonna lie, took longer than I would have liked it to have done, but worth the trip.<3 nice
By the way, while Church Crag is the zeitgeist, what are the holds like on Gulliver's or one of the slightly easier things? Might have a day next Sunday. Skin friendly or not so thin that climbing taped will be a problem?If your skin wasn't up to Gulliver's (bit crimpy but not ratty for lime), reckon the shield problems + the other traversey links would be fine with buggered skin - big moves on big holds sort of thing. Would be keen to see you pay a visit there, unprecedented downgrading potential :punk:
THEN WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?!?!
Thanks for the beta. I called in once on the way back from a session at Anston to see what it was like. Had a play on the shield and it felt very frustrating - like a very percentagey slap into a good hold. Will see how the skin is next weekend.

You'll be fine on Gulliver's with taped tips. Do you want the easy beta though? ;)

Cmon - spill the beanz... :)
Blimey, Hunt's gonna have a field day at Church. Even I reckon there are a couple of soft touches there and I'm a weak midget.
Beta alert
Albatross
Went round to Albatross and had a go ... Outlanked!
Same question for Gypus.
I can't quite picture what the Fox does. You climb the Gypsy but stay on the steep side to top out instead of pulling into the niche? I can't remember whether the green book gives a Font grade for that - what would you give it? Same question for Gypus.
Was there no psyche for Opus? I've been up to "the move" but chickened out. Must go back.
Tender Homecoming. Keen for a rematch at some point.
Beta alert
Missing one of the best moves at the crag doing it this way though!
Thur - Board session, 8 problems probably all V3 - top end V4 done twice each as the board has a mirror function all quite long as 10 - 15 moves each. Worked a project of mine on crimps which I'd guess to be about V5 (set by somebody else) normally this would be my style but the moves are quite wide, got 2 moves further than before.
Core workout - 300 core movements.

This is how I feel about the new beta on Ill Gotten Gains :(
It's something I made up a bit from ab ripper X, and some climbing core videos. All floor-based due to wonky wrist... Holds are 25 secs, apologies if names for them are wrongCore workout - 300 core movements.
Got a link to this or is it 36C's favourite AbRipperx? I am bored of core and need something new to try...
Didn't fancy hitting the powder then CoopsI know. Breck has had 62 inches in the last week :doubt:

an EPIC pass weekend
oof, hard times. I know you can get married at Sunspot at Winter Park (an I suspect other resorts), should have suggested checking that out..Yeah views of hillsides full of metal are not really for me (summer wedding) but it's a good excuse :)

Good effort actually repeating problems both sides of the board. I always intend to do this and sack it off once I tick something on one side, especially if its taken ages...
Alpine will be primo mate(summer wedding)
Will I still be able to go climbing somewhere with decent connies??
edit: Asking for a friend...
I was looking at this the other day as I’ll be “out west” myself June/ July- the entire state of Colorado is above 1000m and the humidity seems to be rarely over 50%. Should be alright.It's hot in summer though, need to be over c.10,000 ft really / in shade. Let me know when you're out if you want to boulder

Proper knackering day out. Cardio ticked for the week... Kilnsey looked pretty wet on the drive home.

Presumably a high clearance car! Forecast for Malham on Sunday was 50mm of rain blowing directly into the cove at 50mph :o
On the pullups, I haven't done any of these but would have thought its good to train by completing the set even if you reduce weight to do so. eg. do the first 3 with 20kg and 4th and 5th set with 10kg on to get used to it and gradually increase the weight as you get stronger?
