Christ's balls! I think you needed a few more smileys on the end of that one slackers, that was a gruelling read.

[csurfleet]

Wow. That was too entertaining. Not sure if I should  or

Let's cut to the chase and as the real question here.......


how do you masturbate in a porta ledge without waking up the other guy?

You just need to be very gentle with him.

[Jaspersharpe]

Always think it's interesting when you see how msm reports climbing stuff and the reaction of presenters and punters.

They generally get it so wrong it makes you think about how they report on everything niche and how it's probably all bollocks.

Clearly why they've got two ledges.

I agree

Ha ha! I'm sure we were all wondering, but afraid to ask.

Who knows, maybe "Come on Tommy, give me a hand here!" takes on a whole new meaning?

Seriously though, who isn't seriously rooting for Jorgeson now?

By the way, how many people are aware of this, from KJ on Evening Sends?:

“That’s how all the crux pitches are. I haven’t redpointed any of them [till now]. "

Wow.

Yes, there is a lot of misunderstanding expressed in the comments in that piece.

Some are quite funny, not many are beyond understanding, and some express views that, although perhaps lacking in some perspective, are worthy of our respect and understanding.

I'm not sure I would so readily dismiss how others view what we do.

It's interesting isn't it, how many comments there are about not damaging the rock, made in what seem to be quite instinctive and heart felt ways.

Anyone got a problem with that?

[lagerstarfish]

yeah. instinct and feelings should be crushed to dust as weprogress towards becoming perfectly rational beings

no, no problem

[finbarrr]

It's interesting isn't it, how many comments there are about not damaging the rock, made in what seem to be quite instinctive and heart felt ways.

i'm sure none of those people felt sorry for the rock that was crushed into gravel to pave the road they drove on to look at that other bit of rock.

and they all probably love that freak of nature piece of rock that looks like those presidents.

anyhow, i love anthropomorphising, so lets just think of bolts as jewelry on rock

[DAVETHOMAS90]

I haven't got my glasses on. I thought you said anthropr0norphising.

[DAVETHOMAS90]

It's cold, dark, pee-ing with rain. I've got a hole in my finger. But I'm at Broomgrove, and have just sent my two move project (at 22.53).

I'm yelling "Yehhsss!" into the wind.

Do we really expect anyone to understand, looking in from outside?

It's our privilege to know why.

Poetry Dave. Thanks for that.

Although I did think you said "I've got a finger in my hole".

Can we load these two posts from grimer and Dave onto the next probe to leave Earth? Between the two of them they encapsulate UKB perfectly - one of mankind's greatest creations.

America - home of national parks, dedicated to preservation of the wild... with drive-through sequoias!

All very, very good!

I like the way on the UKB front page it says

Final hard pitch on Dawn wall redpointed by DAVETHOMAS90

I for one would like to say good effort dave 

Now apparently I've redpointed it, awesome, nobody post anything else....

[SA Chris]

me! (that's my 5 minutes of fame!)

[lagerstarfish]

live updates from Broomgrove!

doesn't get more, um, something-really-good than that!

If I'd been more on the ball I could have brought some water down for you

(you can carry your own poo and wee out)

[lagerstarfish]

I just repointed the hard bit of Dawn Wall - it said so in the interweb

[Doylo]

Dave's got the same buzz as Tommy Caldwell on ground level.  Hes sleeping in his own bed and he's not getting molestered during the night by Kevin Jorgeson.

[lagerstarfish]

sounds like Dave is missing out on the best part

Lovely post Dave.
What leaves me puzzled, though, is this: how can someone be so happy for completing such trivial endurance feats? Like, two moves? Are you crazy? One single move would be better, but now it all boils down to just holding a position static, for me. And I am always right.
