Confusing problem? maybe if your part of the learning difficulties group on a day trip  

Alright, la. Was just about to have a rant along the lines of "don't you fucking talk to me like that!" but spotted the smiley just in time.  :wink: Maybe we need an irony emoticon. What I meant was - and you are just the man to answer this - it seems daft to start low on the right and do that contorted share on the poor gaston thing when the obvious (and better) method is slap bang in the middle.

Still, perfection is the work of Allah, not Man.

bloody hell do u match on that gaston? i was trying to use an even shitter hold just below the gaston in order to get my right onto the gaston.

[tc]

Its really that simple  :wink:

Seems logical to me. Thought the straight up was good but like I say I was disappointed with the place overall. Actually, I didn't say that at all - I said it was shite, didn't I?  :wink: But then , I've never been one to shrink from inflammatory statements - I blame my parochial heritage

TC I think your being very unfair on Little Font, there are a number of very fine problems there and when you consider you can easily cherry pick the best lines and then combine the day with a session on Badger Rock and the Garburn Pass boulder (the second best boulder in the Lakes)you have the makings of a top venue!

While I'm on the point I noticed that Fingers of a Blondie guy (or whatever hes called) was slating Valley of the Kings for being esoteric... Quote from the topo "An esoteric venue best combined with a trip to the GARBURN PASS BOULDER" Why don't people read the fucking guide description before complainig somewhere is esoteric!  :D

[tc]

Yeah, but sometimes being unfair is fun, Greg  :twisted: And I didn't make it up the hill to the Garburn Pass so I was judging LF in isolation.

don't try and be clever greg it doesn't suit you.

i said it was esoteric shite. not all esoteric areas are shite though.

[tc]

True enuff. Agden Rocher, for example, is esoteric shite and the bench mark by which all other esoteric shite should be measured. The Breck, on the other hand, is also esoteric shite - but brilliant esoteric shite. Have I made myself clear?

Nah, we don't do that on here. Anyway, I'm right and everyone else is right too :wink:

Fuck me, it's good to be back bouldering again. And arguing.

[a dense loner]

in reverse order tc :wink:

spelling mistake above, i should have said "i'm shit with faeces"

[dave]

don't try and be clever greg it doesn't suit you. .

i'd say it does suit him rather well actually.

afterall its better than spraying about eating habits.

[clm]

trying to surf on the pacific coast of costa rica. :

[a dense loner]

but you're back soon :twisted:

[Jim]

it is true, was training indoors when nice weather outside. not been outside since getting up at 5 to go and try an 8a only to realise that it was 20 degrees at five in the morning. get more done indoors in the heat (so dense keeps telling me) although maybe oudoors this weekend. need to get my kitchen fitted on the double so can build a training board of pain in me garage

[Bubba]

My new boards will be up today :D  The whole end of the garage, 8 ft by 8ft - nice!

But I've got to re-do all the holds  :cry:

[Jim]

so your actually gonna start climbing again then bubba?

[Bubba]

I've been climbing, but it's just being getting pumped on the leading wall which doesn't do my bouldering much good, but yeah, going to start training again.
My old woodie was unusable - too big and needed the space for other things but this one will take up less space.

[a dense loner]

bloody hell bubba you must have had a big woodie before, not the kind on the shootin the shit regret this in the mornin thread tho :wink:

[Bubba]

It was big but useless - it had a big roof for a start, then a hinged 8x4 section that you could swing down from the roof, and then two 6ft high boards. It just didn't work very well although it sounds good I spose.

This will be simple and effective! Just got to use the fucker now

[Carnage]

I getting Woodie Envy now  :wink:

Puts my crappy fingerboard bolted above the lounge door to shame. :cry:

[Bonjoy]

I spent ages buiding a wood but never use it. If I have to climb indoors I prefer the social and competative edge you get at a climbing wall.
