Nice picture Guy!
Great effort Stu. Given how plagued you've been with injury over the years it's good to see the training paying off and you getting this done. Also, given it's in the UK, I feel you've burned off Barrows.
-
I feel I've been burned off too. I'll have to buy Stu cake to fatten him back up.
He's still shit at onsighting though, draw grabbing pussy. :jab:
-
If you feel like you've been burned off, that's because you have.
I assume you're responsible for the note on my office door?
-
Yeah, hope you liked it.
-
Quality Stu, really inspiring.
-
Top effort Stu.

how many knee bars did Stu use on Rainshadow?
-
Ben will always be Ben Moon, and the rest of us will never be Ben Moon.
Still as true today as it ever was.
-
Awesome effort Stu! You must be on Oort cloud number 9 at the moment!
-
I think your stock answer when challenged on any subject in the lecture room or social media should be ...."You do realise I've done Rainshadow"
-
Ben will always be Ben Moon, and the rest of us will never be Ben Moon.
Still as true today as it ever was.
Thats exactly what I was thinking: this is more inspiring than Bens ascent because he's like, Ben Moon. Stu is one of us.
A good one obviously.
-
what char said.
well done Stu! good year for you! nature paper and 9a!
-
It's always great to hear about people in their late 30s and beyond doing PBs. Gives me hope.
-
I concur, no reason why your best years can't be ahead of you well into 30s n 40s I reckon/hope.
-
I should bloody hope so, I gave up most of my twenties to boozing, partying and women "the rest I squandered"
-
top effort Stu whats next?

what about 50's!! :strongbench:

I can think of a few :lol:

Presuming appropriate life choices are made e.g. not having kids, working as little as possible.
-
Yep, the boltclipping prognosis looks good for all those workshy impotent 50yo climbers.
-
Chilam balam here I come mutha fuckas!
-
It feels hard enough now and I don't even have a kid. I'm currently sat on a beautiful sunstroked beach on the Adriatic in Croatia when the only place I want to be is a dark, gloomy cave full of pigeons in Wales. Women :'(

Fixed.
My girlfriend wants me to teach her how to belay properly, because she wants me to climb Sanski Par.

Best quote ever that, George Best ftw.
Well done Stu, mega news.
-

It's all about the drugs.
-
:off: No biggie but the George Best quote is actually
'I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered'
Another one is
'I'd have to be superman to do some of the things I'm supposed to have done, I've been at six different places at six different times'. :)
-

A quote that always raises a chuckle... and then you remember that he died as a result of alcoholism, and had two failed marriages and was (an admitted) wife-beater. If he'd caused any traffic accidents I think we would have a contender for most cautionary quotation ever.
-
'I'd have to be superman to do some of the things I'm supposed to have done, I've been at six different places at six different times'. :)
That's Jerry Moffatt isn't it?

No, you're thinking of Gary Gibson.

You have a 'friendly' rivalry with Alex Barrows - how did this start? I believe you made a 'Climbers Against Barrows' tshirt! How does it feel to finally have climbed as hard as Barrows? What's your next goal to one-up him?
I do have a climbers against barrows t-shirt. I got it printed when he climbed Malcom Smith's epic boulder traverse Pilgrimage by finding about twenty knee-bar rests along it. It's important to take a stand against climbers like Alex - weak people shouldn't be able to climb hard, and no amount of knee-bars should change that.
To be honest, I don't feel like I've climbed as hard as Alex. I feel like I've climbed harder. I just don't think routes in Spain should count. We've all heard the rumours...
:lol: :clap2:

CAB was supposed to be taking the piss out of the whole CAC thing, not Barrows.

That's a flipping brilliant interview
-
9a climber and funnier than Grimer - who knew!
-
Effort Stu!
-
Some food for thought, and possibly disbelief. Was chatting this morning and it seems like stu could be the heaviest guy to climb rainshadow! His nearest rival Ondra, don't ever want to put that in a sentence again :ras: was just a boy at the time! Nike air was about 9 stone, Ben possibly 9 1/2 if it was raining, and ste was obviously about 7 stone. Stu can't be the heaviest guy to do anything, he just can't!
-
Ben would have weighed more for sure. I was 58kg.

I bloody said you were 9 stone! The other guy said you were heavier than you looked and weighed 67kg!!! I pointed out they'd lost the plot but they beat me down in a war of attrition! I thought it was a strange world were you where the heaviest! They'll be telling me you're 6ft tomorrow
-
food for thought
I thought you hated puns.
-
Stu probably was about 67kg, then he stopped eating 5 boost bars per day.
-
I like puns, I don't like one punning after the other
