Classic

[lagerstarfish]

how many knee bars did Stu use on Rainshadow?

[Stu Littlefair]

Ben will always be Ben Moon, and the rest of us will never be Ben Moon.

Still as true today as it ever was.

[Monolith]

Awesome effort Stu! You must be on Oort cloud number 9 at the moment!

[shark]

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"

[cowboyhat]

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.

[saltbeef]

what char said.
well done Stu! good year for you! nature paper and 9a!

[Doylo]

It's always great to hear about people in their late 30s and beyond doing PBs. Gives me hope.

[abarro81]

I concur, no reason why your best years can't be ahead of you well into 30s n 40s I reckon/hope.

[Wood FT]

I should bloody hope so, I gave up most of my twenties to boozing, partying and women "the rest I squandered"

[davej]

top effort Stu whats next?

[davej]

I concur, no reason why your best years can't be ahead of you well into 30s n 40s I reckon/hope.

what about 50's!!

[T_B]

I concur, no reason why your best years can't be ahead of you well into 30s n 40s I reckon/hope.

I can think of a few

[abarro81]

Presuming appropriate life choices are made e.g. not having kids, working as little as possible.

[dave]

Yep, the boltclipping prognosis looks good for all those workshy impotent 50yo climbers.

[abarro81]

Chilam balam here I come mutha fuckas!

[Doylo]

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.

[kelvin]

Yep, the boltclipping prognosis looks good for all those workshy impotent 50yo climbers.

It's all about the drugs.

[Kingy]

  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'.

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'

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?
