Busy at the minute and having problems with uploading stuff to my ftp site. Next week I'll hopefully get 10 minutes to sort some stuff out.
I did about 25 7th grade and above problems up to and including a few 7b (maybe +) which ain't too bad considering the heat. Regard

Plenty of steak + frite Nibs, best meal of the week was again the empire state burger at au bureau followed closely by the buffalo grill steak

Uncle - I'll have you take back what you said about quality, we did some well good stuff. obviously you'll never get to enjoy these problems because they are all below you.

7 days on in font with no rest days and 7th grade climbed everyday = broken Jim

Off to the caravan shortly to spend the weekend smoking some nice monte cristo no.3's and drinking a bottle of tanquary no.10 with plenty of tonic, ice and lime. Can't wait

never tried one although I have been to the partagas factory.
My Neighbour has just given me a cohiba half corona so will be enjoying that as well.
What I'd really like to try would be a cohiba sublime but at £700 for 25 they ain't cheap

Oh well.  I was waiting for an affirmative so I could wad you.

Sounds like you had a good trip despite not putting those two to bed.  In terms of acreage of ink, the inside of your 7+8s guide must look a bit like Godoffe's now.

fantastic trip had by all, I also managed to bag over 30 7th grade problems in 2 weeks, not bad with a bust tendon, although it was hot, conditions were surprisingly good.


On another good week tick, managed to bag a new house 2 Min's from buthiers. So for all you climbers wanting cheap accom watch this space, we move in in 3 months. We will have 4 gites., 3 apartments, a climbing wall and shop 2 mins from the rocks. 


Also who has my book Jim, I left it on the table at F1

sendspace has the video hosting there as a .mov for people who have a fast connection and would rather watch something in decent resolution.

It was edited using ivideo (or whatever that SHIT program is on a mac).

Nibile. I was simply writing that I was posting under James name because I was too lazy to log out and log back in as myself. But if you ain't flashing 8B's you ain't big numbers...  ;)

Jim.  If someone were to call you Big Hams it wouldn't mean there was more than one of you, simply that there is more than one ham. Or in big numbers' case, numbers.
